Guild Wars 2

Holosmith at first seemed mechanically not something i’d like, but after playing with it i really started to love how it was playing, i have seen some of the complains or suggestions bout addin heat to pistol and rifle skills, then some utility skills aswell. That would be pretty neat but what bothered me the most with Holosmith was the reused assets and animation. Do note alot of this if from a person to plays Charrs mostly

1 Skill. The swinging of that sword with it being a two handed look sword and for the player to just flop it around like that , it really look silly . I mean why not something a lil more impact for engineer to be swinging , its like it has no weight it just looks weird . I knwo its ‘hardened light’ but come on :p

2 Skill. The leap is kinda nice though it looks a lil buggy like when you land your stabbin the sword down into the ground no real transition.

3 Skill. This prob bugs me the most for holosmith, being a charr and twirling around in a spin really lack luster. Spinnin it around on your palm or something above you would be just as good.

4 Skill. Soo thief 3 skill with dual pistols and legendary HOPE assets used for the guns ? come on Anet don’t cheese something when you go so far to give elementalist a ton of skills with some new tweening animations along with fancy skill effects.

5 Skill. That Hammer smash is amazing as a skill and i know it has a reused asset from , i think the mystic hammer i think it was. But i guess thats fine

The last thing i just wanted to touch on was the Elite skill being the birthday blaster/ scarlet’s gun thing . That is the thing that annoyed me seein that reused so many times when it came out annoyed me then but even now to see it on an elite skill that looks as awesome as holosmiths does .

Come on Anet you can setup things I know you saved tons of animations from Hots beta to launch , I am looking at you thief staff and dodge which you guys fixed for launch and they look awesome!. There were more but i really hope you guys look at some of these a little more. I am not trying to break the balance of things just wanting the quality of things to show that you guys tried as hard on each class instead of giving others more attention than others!

Just posting my feed back to try to help and hopefully it will be read.

100% map on Verdant Brink and Nothing as well. Yet my friend was doing it with me and got it , but still got something.

I have the same issue, frankly its heart breaking and i do not want to continue till this is fixed. For your interest, there was temporary NPC called Vigil Tactician [Specialization achievement repair] in Heart of the mist, in front of the portal to LA, that was suppose to fix it, but i noticed my bug this weekend and by then the NPC was taken away so i do not know if they will ever address this issue again and if its just on my game that this NPC is missing.

I live with her and let her log in on my computer to see if that was the issue or something bugged with her client and still the same problem. I have been running all over askin bout the Achievement bug Fixer but nobody knows where she went, i remember seeing it in PVP but yea. GM’s please help!

I am really hoping Anet will be adding more with the expansion , it really only makes sense , be nice not having to use my total make over kit to re-open the customize to just get a few more face designs.

Just a thought that i keep wondering.

Scrapper over all feels rushed compared to the trailer.

The gryos should follow you around like they do in the trailer for HoT until you call or active them to go and do the task you want! The need to keep up with you and not have dumb path finding . AoE’s destroy them instantly and their ‘practical’ use is just laughable. Make a Fuel system a real thing not just some a timed life span.

Traits Really need to be adjusted to have more synergy with other things the engi already has I feel like I can’t mix up any of my build it has to be “this” why can’t it feel more like reaper insanely enjoyable.

The Hammer is lack luster i feel like by the time i get a field down and combo in it , i don’t even get to enjoy that Irenio hyped " super speed". When you finish you maybe able to take one or 2 steps , no real game changer so kinda dumb. The 3 Skill is terrible, i would like to see the trailer version of it with the twirling knock down and blast finishers.

There is soo much i wanna say but i feel that if its not in the “most talked bout” it won’t be heard so i left what i majorly thought

I was gonna make a whole post like this around monday but Seabreeze did a perfect job showing it.

I mainly play a charr and the animations for the staff are just terrible, i don’t feel like i am wielding a staff half the time. That simple .

But moving on to more animations issues.

Fist Flurry- This I don’t mind the animation, its decent and not bad. But there needs to be some kinda effect showing off. Giving me the feelin that i am hitin them rapidly. Maybe some particles or like black ,flinging off side to side . Just a lil more “piazza”

Impact Strike- This doesn’t feel or look like i am doin anything to my target, i know it has the properties of "finishing’ somebody , But Anet come on stop re-using SO many animations make that elite stomp feel a lil more noticeable and “impacting” not the generic stomp/finisher.

I have abit more feed back but everbody has already said alot of the problems over and over. I don’t wanna repeat them.

That is very helpful. Thank you!

I am not looking for an argument just understanding what i am spending my money on.

After reading and looking at the advertisements and such for HoT. What are we getting?

1? New Map/Zone In PvE
1 New Class (with their specialization?)
Some Gliding or odd after level 80 skills that only apply to that Zone?

Alot of the changes to the Skill system are standard. Seriously what else are we getting besides those two things? Are the 8 specializations , IE: Engineer getting to use a hammer, what they are locking? The PVP and WvW changes are also included in the standard Gw2 game aren’t they? Just a little confused bout what the expansion comes with.

I am rather liking it . I really don’t have to worry bout updating or waiting . But my worry is just the increased lag or fps drops with bosses and stuffs , i don’t think its caused by that.

Soo I noticed the grenade launcher when starting up a New Charr character. Maybe its something that could be for later. I really think the engi should replace that Mine gadget( that used to be a Kit in beta) with that grenade launcher , but hey thats me.

Did you guys notice it?

Does the Mystic shield work since the rifle does as well?
