yes, it is the dread enhanced rancor.

TFB at the start of 2.0

lol, thats assuming that the people they are inviting to closed beta know any better, and if they do know better, that anyone is paying attention to the feedback given.

the misconception with this post is mind boggling. and explains why little effort is going into the combat system because little effort is being put into trying to learn it. tool tips are there for a reason. Master strike is a three second channel. its focus neutral, and is the back bone of some Knight specs, others its just a decent filler, and in watchmen, its clipped for optimal use. zealous strike, has a shorter cooldown, only consumes a GCD just like every damaging ability, and is you main "focus builder" ability in most specs. Crippling Slash, its not just a root, it also applies a healing debuff, so any healing going onto your target is reduced by 20%. and slash is a small rage building filler that you want to find rotations/priority systems were you use it minimally. 4 different abilities, with 4 different functionalities, that are meant to be used at 4 different times. try again. also, the compairison between games is like trying to say a cucumber, an orange and a cheeseburger are all the same thing. The philosophies and game engines used are so vastly MOBA's are about timing, and how well do you know the hero that the opponent is using, how do you counter it in their role, and how well do you know how to use the one you are on. GW2 is about micro managing your boons you put out, how to condi cleanse, and some specs (mainly DD Ele) do require "optimal rotations" that can be a bit complex. Also, your positioning is paramount in that game. If you don't position yourself correctly, you can chunk yourself, and be put into a downstate very quickly. ESO was meant to be simple because at some point they were going to (and did) port it to console, so it had to be dumb as **** to play. The same goes for Neverwinter. Point is, or a TLDR if you will: if you are trying to manage 4 hotbars, and trying to keep everything on CD, you are doing it wrong. also, if you are wondering, "what abilities should i be using while leveling? what i can i do to make it simpler?"

fk it, im just gonna ask... exactly what abilities do you feel have similar names and do similar things that the game forces you to use?

lol k.

i just want to see if any new retardation can be farmed out of this.

you're a noob.

nerf steel beams

Tank "*** do you mean my gear isnt good enough? you elitest *****" You "m8, your in green stuff from voss. like seriosuly. you belt is a white item. and you have like one piece in left side. and its the wrong stat. Tank "whatever man, your just a bully" next thing you know. "Tank has voted to kick you, reason: they is being meany to my pleb gear" the other two decide to v2k, because, well. some people just subject themselves to dumb so they don't have to deal with conflict. BW pls remove the lockout for leaving group. k thx.

lol clutch leap

why fix the broken stuff when you can sweep it under the rug and force feed a vast majority of the player base who don't understand the games basic mechanics what sums up to a overall insult to their level of intelligence and act like pre 4.0 never happened?

Game is Hard- B̶a̶t̶t̶l̶e̶b̶u̶g̶ Slowpokeking 2015

for FP's, yeah that is more then fine. honestly, it just flashpoints, if you have half way decent idea of what each defensive cooldown you have does, and can hold aggro, you should be fairly successful.

this whole thread seems to be 1 person saying "game is hard" and everyone else saying "stop being bad" or am i missing something?

HOLY ****, YOU GET THE NEW BW BUSINESS MODEL, NOT TO *********** RETAIN PLAYERS!!!!! what you just said, "If i cant continue my characters story(which BTW, Ops and FPs, sans the SoR ones, are not your characters story. They are the groups story), I'm not going to continue to play" Newsflash. They don't care. Every move they have made with 4.0 is to set up a revolving door of players. Besides, when you find a purely single player MMO, that brings you all of the a-social happiness, let us all know. Until then, feel free to wallow in the fact that you got suckered into the wrong medium of video game story telling.

lol....a few little lines spawned a Charles Dickens novel on morality.... HUEHUEHEUEHUEUHEUHEHUE

whats SM? is that what plebs do to get gear? ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

this was as of late 2014: http://www.polygon.com/2014/8/14/6001503/star-wars-the-old-republic-2014-players-ea-bioware "Since it was induced in November, we've added more than 1.7 million new players on the free model to the service," Gibeau said at the time. "And the number of subscriptions has stabilized at just under half a million." thats just the player base in general. and it has been shrinking since then.

HEY GUYS< RAIDERS/PVPERS AINT ****< YOU ARENT FOUNDERS LIKE US COOL SOLO PLAYERS HEUHEUEHEUHEUHEUEHEUEHUEHEUHE ALSO< YOU DONT SUBSRKIBE LIKE US< WE SHOULD GET THE SAME STUFFS AS YOU WITHOUT ANY OF THE EFFORT. yeah...thats how you are coming across. also, yes a majority of players are "solo players". but they are usually f2p, who dont make it past lvl 20 before they quit the game.

but, i can dress them up however i want, and everyone knows that style>functionality ./kappa

maybe you werent clicking it fast enough Maal HUEHEUHEUEHUEHEUHEUEHUEHUHE

they did do a power creep scaling. but trust me. its the rotations. good parsing dps at 55 was 4k good parsing dps at 60 is 5k,

rotations are hard.

new player in 186 comm garbage joins sm raid to get the dank lootz. its lead by SM hero pleb with 198 comm gear( gotta get that 60k HP<insert random DPS class>) wipes on Underlurker for 2 hours, 60k whatever quits out cuz everyone is bad. those gosh darn elitest "raiders"
