Ya'll can chill with that fanboy stuff. No need for it, considering more than a number of people provided counterpoints in a concise and reasonable manner. I don't like dungeons either based on the two that I've played in story mode. I read through some of these breakdowns on why dungeons are ass and I can sympathize and even agree with some points. I have to ignore the implicit condescension and incendiary vibe of the post(s), but I manage. Others not so much -- it's not an efficient way to communicate, given the kind of responses such a manner of text would elicit.

Thanks for the pseudo-psychiatry 101, Dr. Science.

Yea the auto attack randomly stops
Is completion over your account or character?
The star achievement on character select is for one character. Lame.

Nope, I'm using the side buttons of my mouse.

best armor dye so far ?
I have it set to my middle mouse button, when you click it in I mean. It makes it so much easier for my warrior. Before when it was double tap I had problems with champs and veterans and now I'm a whirlwind of mass destruction and cupcakes.

I just double tap. Works fine for me.
Yeah that would be ideal but the issue I have is the game doesn't recognise half the side button on my mouse.
Logitech? Bind the mousebuttons to keys.
Do you do that through Setpoint? I'll have to install it
I've come to the conclusion that the stuff is by far the Mesmer's best weapon.

Stuff is a fantastic (support) weapon on Guardians too.

Nope, that's why we tell people to save their karma until level 80.
That's... I... what? I knew about the absurd amount of skill points you need, but I didn't know karma came into the equation too. D:

My first time fighting Jormag and this is what I saw
This is fucking nonsense that Anet needs to fix ASAP.

I use middle mouse button too. Double tap sucks ass.
Really? I find that I have more fun past 50 with the DEs.
It just feels more intuitive this way. I have the switch weapons as my thumb button on the side of my mouse that way I can't accidentally hit it.

I'm impressed that you can enjoy bugged NPC escort missions.

That is awesome that they are still implementing so many cool changes in the previous game. I'm half tempted to go back to my elementalist in GW 1 now just to check it out...
I hate that shit when it comes to boss zergs. As melee the only way you can tell if you're hitting anything is if you see numbers fly on the screen. Can't believe this passed beta.
Holy shit. There are so many bugged dynamic events in later areas, I was beyond frustrated.
I'm pretty sure the bolded claims are untrue. You can outrun missiles. Missiles in fact fly along a path to you, but only certain magical ones curve. (I believe.) They also obey flightpath rules where objects and players can intercept them on their path. As for melee hits, you can simply step out of a melee hit radius and not be hit. There are also multiple escape skills in the game. As a Mesmer, I have Swap, Feigned Escape and Blink.
So for example, if a Ranger fires an arrow at me and I use Feigned Escape, the arrow will hit my clone. Not because the clone becomes the arrows target, but because the clone stands where I stood when the arrow was shot and thus absorbs the hit.
The bolded claims are very true. It's not hard to run full bore in circles around a mob ranger and watch as EVERY SINGLE ARROW curves and homes in. LoS? Only works on some attacks. That Sorrow's Embrace boss I mentioned is on a platform with rails all over, the fireballs go straight through them. straight through obstructing walls, straight through everything. this is common in most dungeons.

The final areas are pretty disappointing in my opinion, whilst some of the events are alright they fail to cumulate in a way that's fitting for the final 2 areas of the game. You'd think the lack of heart quest would mean the areas would be raddically different from the others in the game. Featuring a load of interlinked DEs which change the scope of the land in a much more dramatic sense than those in other areas, with a huge boss fight at the end which would change based on how you faired in the DEs leading up for it. Instead you get the same events you've seen throughout the game with more bugs that only lead to a few alright shrine bosses which lack anywhere near the amount of impact the the bigger battles in other areas (especially the dragons).
Don't forget the instant respawn insanely dense mob spawns, just to make it REALLY FUN
It depends on the projectile. The fireballs that the ghost mages toss I don't waste endurance on because you can juke them. I've never really been able to juke arrows or especially bullets.
Another problem with the final areas, other than lack of variety and bugged chains is that a zerg will clear them pretty easily (except for the Balthazar altar I guess) and leave you with nothing to do if you get there late. People move on to something else too and there's no way to find a group either, and if you do they are just killing random Veterans along the way or waiting for a defense event to spawn.
When you fail the defense of the Arah gate event for example, you'd get a semi long chain with a chest reward, the problem is that with all the people doing the dungeon behind it, it never happens. 2 or 3 people are the only things needed to clear that event (which is basically a capture the point thing) and there's often way more than that, so it's not even worth it to go there if you are not doing the dungeon.
Some areas feel like an afterthought for sure, or maybe not balanced well enough for the launch numbers, but I need more stuff to do there, especially if only there I can find the high tier crafting components.

He's right, though there are a few attacks in the game that can be dodged without using actual dodges. Majority of attacks of range variety are auto hitting/tracking. Moving out of hit radius in melee works in most memos also. Some classes have more defensive skills than others such as the feign escape or such, but his point is pretty spot on.
Good run of AC, br0ken_shad0w, Piecake, hockeypuck and Kimaka!
Died twice to the lovers, and once to Adelbern, best I've done so far. You guys have great rezzing instincts!
I also got WAY more XP than usual for completing this. Does anyone know if they boosted it, or if how much XP you get is variable depending on certain factors?
