No counterplay to shadowstep stomps? Wot? You have Line and Ring of Warding from guardians, Static Field from eles, Reaper’s Mark and Spectral Wall from necros. All of them CC the player shadowstepping through them if they don’t have stability, which is usually the case. It’s much harder to counter stability stomps.
Also, and more importantly, we had a quality ~5v~5 against some [Trbo] up between N camp and the centaurs. It was frustrating to see downed players waypointing and rejoining the fight, but it was still a lot of fun. Thank you for the good times, unicorns.
Thanks for the fun as well, but it was 4v6-7?most of that fight when 2 of ours were running from spawn. We had a new Ele recruit, 2 Mesmers and a Thief and from what I recall, you had 3 Guardians, 1 Warrior, 1 Engineer and an Ele. We managed to stomp your Ele and Engi a couple of times but you guys just kept reviving them up from defeated state so fast that it didn’t really matter. xD Kudos to you guys for the fast response time on those revives; I can’t count how many times we missed a stomp by a quarter of a second.
Shout out to the [Main] Guardian and Engineer we 2v2’d in IoJ BL as well, was fun.
Anet did do this in GW1 like Teofa mentioned.
LOL have you not been reading the forums at all? Anet just tried this and the backlash was phenomenal (and rightly so).
In my opinion, this should never happen. Yes to new armor skins, no to changing cultural armors.
Backlash was insane because Cultural Armor 2.0 cost 60 gold to make vs 1.0 that costs 160 gold when you as in the 10 transmute crystals to get the skin on good stats. It was also insane because it was one race’s armor. If you were human you just got a new effect, every other race got an entirely new armor set.
If they redid this so that every racial armor was reworked to be universal for the same cost the amount of happy people would greatly outweigh the upset.
To OP: I disagree op and would say this is bad idea.
Why don’t you consider that a lot of players bought it for the reason because it was unique to the race. And now you want anet to change that, why, because of your own selfish reasons?
Cons:
*All races lose some uniqueness - Losing the exclusivity within each individual race may not sit well with some people. Some people were forced into playing a certain race just to be able to wear the armor they want; the same people may have chosen a different race if these armors weren’t restricted in the first place.
I’m sorry but did you read what I typed at all? I’ll just assume you missed this part where I clearly consider what you’re saying as a con. Anyway, I’m not sure how wanting cultural armors become open to all races is any more selfish than wanting them to stay exclusive.
I don’t really agree with making tier culti sets available to other races; because it’s what is cool that that race- aside from the race itself being different. It’s the only thing that to me GW has retained because in GW1 armors were profession based, Necros didn’t get ele armor, Mesmers didn’t wear ritualist armor- the only way you could have the same armor as another is if you played the exact same profession & that I appreciated.
I’d be bummed if other light armors of diff races wore the Tier 3 set my Asura Ele wears. Because then it wouldn’t really be unique and why did I go for trying to look different in armor in the 1st place?
I completely understand. Think about it though, do u really feel that unique as an Asura Ele with T3? I wear it too on my Asura Ele, it looks awesome, but I already see a lot of light armored asura wearing the same armor as you and me. I believe the only real way to get close to being unique in the game(aesthetically) is to mix and match, which is the reason I value having more options for mix and matching more than I value race uniqueness.
Cultural-styled armor that has to be earned by in game actions and reputation? Sure.
Ah yes, I remember those. That’s actually a good idea.
LOL have you not been reading the forums at all? Anet just tried this and the backlash was phenomenal (and rightly so).
In my opinion, this should never happen. Yes to new armor skins, no to changing cultural armors.
Most of the complaints that I read weren’t solely because they opened a cultural armor to all races, but because it was opened to all races AND much cheaper than the original, with updated visuals on top of that. The issue was more about fairness. 1 race’s cultural armor being open to all while none of the other races’ are was the problem.
I’m going to make this short and simple; I’d like to know how the community feels about making Cultural Armors open to all races, as well as discuss its pros and cons. Here’s some on the top of my head.
Pros:
*More customization for all races in general. - I feel the game, despite the introduction of Ascended gear, is still focused more(just a wee bit) on horizontal progression, so I can only see this benefiting the game. Gives more options for mix and matching as well.
*More gold sinks - Gold value has been decreasing more and more since release. Tier 3 armors take huge amounts of gold out of the economy, so more armors being bought from NPC’s=gold value increases, prices of goods in the TP decrease.
*More Goals - For those that really want something to work towards.
*(For Anet)More Transmutation Crystal sales - Self-explanatory(if Anet keeps the current system that is, which doesn’t really bother me that much)
*Requires less work compared to creating completely new armor from scratch. Just a note: I’m completely against recycling stuff in the game(like the recently added/removed Flamexxxx armors) but I don’t really see this as recycling.
*Emperor Title attainable without playing a race you don’t really like - Currently, if you want the title and don’t really like 1 of the current races, you’ll have to invest gold on something you probably won’t use, but at the end of the day, it’s still vanity. (Note: I’ve had the title for about 10 months now, and I don’t mind this at all)
Cons:
*All races lose some uniqueness - Losing the exclusivity within each individual race may not sit well with some people. Some people were forced into playing a certain race just to be able to wear the armor they want; the same people may have chosen a different race if these armors weren’t restricted in the first place.
*Some armors will become even more common - It’s no secret that some sets are more common than others; removing the restriction will make these armors even more common.
*Armors won’t look right/make sense on some races - non-asura in t3 Heavy Asura anyone? Charr in T3 Heavy Human? In all seriousness, it all comes down to Anet’s execution. Besides, we already have CoE armor on non-asura, or CM armor on Charr.
Personally, I really want this to happen. There are so many Cultural Armors that I want to buy but won’t just because they’re tied to races that I don’t play much. I’d love to see T3 Heavy Charr/Norn on my Asura Warrior, or T3 Norn Medium on my Human Ranger, etc. The pros heavily outweigh the cons from my perspective, so I’m all for it. Maybe make the armors much more expensive to the other races.
As for the subject of whether these armors can still be considered “Cultural” if the race restriction is removed: I think they can be. It’s easy to distinguish which race/culture the armors come from just from their theme. That’s good enough, in my opinion.
Thoughts? Against it or for it? Your Pros and Cons? I’m sure I missed a lot of things, so feel free to add.
Had fun at fight club as well. Quite a lot of participants from all servers, which is great.
Special thanks to Second Child for letting the rest of IoJ know it was going on.
Fun duels at fight club!
I was the [RET] Elementalist. Was trying to get more guildies to come but the usual fight clubbers in the guild we’re offline.
Next time it would be ideal to do it in FABL. Some DB had to run from spawn if they needed to regear/retrait.
You and Seeki from [CORE] are the best ele’s I’ve fought in a while. Sorry I had to ignore your challenge for quite a bit(I was that warrior you fought before you left), had to deal with that troll uA asura thief you helped us find first.
Thanks for that.
I’d be lying to say I wasn’t laughing really hard at the PPT right now. Wish I could bring up the quotes by the IOJ commanders from 2 weeks earlier.
please do. i’m curious as to what our commanders said back then AND whether these commanders are even still in IoJ, or are with those who jumped ship last week before the leagues started.
it’s mostly for the skin. if u like how it looks, u can apply the skin again on armors with better stats using transmutation stones.
i’ve seen worse, believe it or not. :P lol
To the TRBO guild that started a fight night with a few of us outside hod garr, sorry about the HOD that stopped the fun:(
Hope to see you around!
hehe nothing to worry about. we had fun having friendly duels with u guys, we hope u did too. 
Same on Underworld. Posted this here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/matchups/21-06-Underworld-Dzagonur-Arborstone
Is it the same for you on the other servers? Like: Event stuck somehwere? Check the route from that camp/direction the Dolyak should move and see if near some gate a “escort caravan” event appears(but nowhere a Dolyak to be seen and no icon on map) – like I explained in the linked thread.
Edit: Also we are in the blue corner…
yes. both events are stuck in SM’s SE gate. we lost SM yesterday because of this and even now with SM gone, we’re still not getting any yak heading to Durios or Quentin.
bumping this post. is this even being looked into?
looks like it’s only happening to supply camps in the blue corner. i’ve seen yaks heading to SM from Golanta and Pangloss so this really hurts whoever the blue team is. this is the main reason we(IOJ) lost a fully upgraded SM earlier.
at least on my server. we’re not getting any yaks at all from both camps in our corner so 2 of our towers AND SM are not getting any supply. please look into this ASAP.
Orr(mainly Straits of Devastation) was actually pretty fun before all the zerging began, minus the bugs, ofc. first time i got there(about a week or 2 after release), i wished the whole game was like it. no renown hearts, just constant DE’s happening everywhere.
is this ever gonna get fixed? it’s quite gamebreaking when u can’t even play WvW since u crash right after u get this bug. i haven’t played much WvW at all for the past 2 months because of this.
a friend of mine tested this and he said that damage is still being done despite it not showing. doesn’t mean it shouldn’t get fixed tho. :P
i was just about to post this actually, ty.
some other peacemaker weapons aren’t glowing as well – all 3 UW weapons, focus, and torch. i doubt it’s intended for these to not have particle effects when all other peacemaker weapons do.
anyone else experiencing this? whenever i open my friends list, my framerate just drops considerably.
"New Build, Your Game Will Restart in Two Minutes": A little more warning please?
Posted by: Grimrist.3917
pretty sure i read somewhere that people in dungeons are given about 2-3 hr notice before they need to restart the client and about an hour for those doing PS.
that’s what balancing is for. every GW1 profession has been viable in all PvP formats for at least once in GW1’s lifetime. i don’t see any reason why it won’t be the same case here.
how often did u guys get something more than just mystic coins from dailies(b4 karma jugs were introduced)? i’ve done dailies pretty much everyday since release and i’ve only gotten something more than just coins twice. ever.
i highly doubt that Cantha won’t make its way into GW2. it would be kind of ridiculous to just ignore all the lore possibilities there. i’m sure a lot of people would love to see how the Echovald Forest and Jade Sea have changed throughout the years with Shiro’s corruption diminished.
