I just experienced a small problem with a mini. I (Charr Warrior) was downed in WvW borderlands against some PvE Mobs, tried using rock throw and throw hammer, but my projectiles were hitting my mini instead. I could see the projectiles coming out from my Charr, travelling a short distance, and then vanishing when it hit the mini.
Of course, as a result, I couldn’t rally because the mini was blocking my attacks.
- Sorry, I didn’t really understand that second suggestion of yours.
My bad, I didn’t really explain that properly. What I mean by a rarity filter is that you can’t apply a legendary skin to a common item, so I couldn’t roll a thief then instantly transmute my rusty 6-damage dagger to a legendary item. Maybe having one stage of lee-way (so that exotics can be skinned as legendary).
However I think it is most likely that if this were implemented skins would be made character-bound, as with dyes.
I have always been on this band-wagon since day 1. Another thing I’d like to add is that when my norn is downed, a lot of the time i’m off the bottom of the screen.
Some more camera issues I’d like to bring forwards: The most zoomed in you can be sems quite far out, IMO. I’d like first-person view, or at least over-the -shoulder.
Secondly and option that turns your camera to whoever you are locked on to (because I am frequently locking onto targets I can’t see, wasting valuable comment time turning the camera to face them- also it would be helpful for teleport abilities, if after teleporting through an ability your character turns back to the target they are locked on to).
I definitely support this idea. There are a few ‘issues’ in your prototype I’d like to address though (not sledging, just considering):
-Items destroyed when added to the gallery: Not many people would want to destroy their legendaries that they’ve strived so hard for in order to add the skin to their library. Maybe learning the skin soulbinds the item so they cannot resell it.
-Anet could possibly add a ‘rarity’ requirement as well, so that alts in white/common armour aren’t walking around like they could pwn the kitten out of anything. (this is a thought, not certain i like my own idea)
-Unlimited remodelling and costly ‘learning’ of the models seems to go against anet’s “gem store is not mandatory” idea- If I want to collect the 500 or so skins I shouldn’t have to buy ~5000 gems (based on your idea of legendaries and rarer items costing a ton) as this removes the accesibility of the mechanic of players who don’t use the gem store. Perhaps the charge should be sustained when remodelling your items from the library. This would mean Anet still gets a constant flow of people buying the stones in order to dress up all their characters, but it doesn’t lock out players from getting every skin.
As I said, though, this is a great idea and it should be a given (considering the ‘dye’ tab works similarly).
While encumbered, I’ve noticed some actions delete items from your inventory.
I’ve notice two so far:
-Changing my armour caused the item I uneqquiped to vanish
-When unlocking a black lion chest with a key, the unlocked chest never went into my inventory, but my key and chest were consumed.
I’m a hater of steal. I use it a little bit, it does have some power and usefulness, but I don’t find it a fun mechanic. Possibly the most boring class mechanic.
