Well. I bought this game with the intent of RPing a while back and had some of the best times meeting with random RPers in the bustling town squares of Divinity’s Reach and it’s many streets. To see the taverns alive with chatter and the streets with stories unfolding all around. It truly was an amazing living community that matched Guild Wars ever evolving world so well. We from the Tarnished Coast had built a story within that world, breathed life into the lore you gave us…for what? Now, with the megaserver, the streets are empty, the taverns silent. The great cities of each race now but hollow shells when once they were filled with some of your most loyal fans, and as such- customers.
I really hope we do in fact see something done about this. The hardcore players and PvPers are not good company for a RPer trying to immerse themself in the world when they go out of their way to mock and troll the RPers. The servers worked. Perhaps a little culling was in order, but for the most part, we sought out what we wanted from the game and found our homes accordingly….
— Just returned from a small break, but no longer sure how long I’ll be staying. Sorry Guild Wars. Maybe when the servers have returned or the RPers are all in one phase. But until then.
Heya! I have always been fond of playing a thief, and while I love the gameplay, I just can’t get over how little variety of armor there is! Perhaps this is because I play a female Charr and the details/quality is lost in the stretching, but the many coats all seem bulky and awkward rather than the flexible and light look I’d imagine many thief types would be going for. Perhaps we could see a larger variety in the future, and maybe even some ‘sexier’ outfits to at least get it up to par with the other armor weights?
Just going to list off the bugs I notice when I play my female charr engineer. :/
The Charr racial’s ‘Hidden Pistol’s tool-belt ability is suffering an animation bug where the character fires ahead like normal, but the guns are facing straight up. (The bug seems to affect the ability in general, whether it is the tool-belt ability or the ability itself.)
Hidden Pistol and it’s tool-belt counterpart (which is very similiar to the Thiefs Barrage ability while wielding a Pistol) are not affected by traits that should affect pistol abilities.
The left strafe uses the right strafe animation. (After going back, it seems this bug affects all female charr, no matter the profession.)
The trait function Static Discharge does not seem to fire nearly as often as it should and when it does, there is a very good chance it simply fires into the ground in front of the avatar.
The combination of Charr engineer has a number of in your face bugs, for example the left strafe uses the right strafe animation when wielding any weapon as a female Charr, the engineer’s tool-belt ability for Hidden Pistol fires up into the sky instead of forward at the target, (Arms are extended as if shooting forward but the guns point up in a very broken manner) and finally an issue with the Hidden pistol ability not using any trait functions that work for pistols as an engineer, though traits will affect the other races racial abilities like the Sylvari plant turrets being considered a turret and affected as such by traits.
Adding to this: The trait version of Static Dishcharge works only half the time, where using a toolbelt abilitly will ‘most’ the time trigger the static discharge effect and then about half the time (if not more), that bolt of electricity will just fire into the ground right in front of the character instead of at any enemy.
I understand that this is a remake of an old thread, but when I went to see if anyone had similiar issues or if it was just me, I found that nearly every bug had been brought up almost a full year ago and is still unresolved. I can understand an ability hitting for a wrong percentage or the likes going unnoticed, but when animations are as broken as they are, I can’t help but feel a tad bit daunted with playing this game knowing things are just kitten.

Heya! I know this is not a new issue people had, but one I think still deserves some attention and possibly, an update. As is, only the main-hand pistol fires unless a ability specifically using the offhand is used, but wouldn’t it be cool if the offhand gun would fire with the main-hand just normally? Here is to hoping I might see the offhand weapon getting it’s own animation for that added firepower I was hoping to see when I first equipped that second gun.
One of the big things for people in MMO’s is the armor. Thats a given, and for the most part, I really like the armor presented but the game is really lacking in the availabe town clothing and actual variety. I’ve always enjoyed collecting armor, and it makes me sad that there are so few sets to really choose from that I can really say stand out from the others (more so with leather wearers even). Many MMO’s have armor that is ‘just because’, it adds variety and more fun when your getting gear that isn’t like the two others from your level tier. As for the town clothes, well, it would just be nifty to have access to more, heck! Even just throwing in the outfits we see the NPC’s in would be great! (I love all the Charr travel armor varieties that the NPCs wear)and I am sure that would make much of the RP community just as happy as well.
Well, that is my half-asleep post, thank you for such a great game and keep it up! ^^
I love collecting nifty looking armor and even some of the mundane stuff, but playing up to 30, I have not seen a single piece of town armor save for the rather silly ones on the gem store. Is it bugged and being implemented at a later date? I hope things are resolved soon and am able to find some new outfits! Thank you ArenaNet! <3
