Well since the big Feature Pack is on the way and it resets all our traits and their points why not reset our chosen exotics too? Players have chosen exotics based on their current configuration/trait/skill setups. I have Grizzlemouth’s Blade. I choase its stats based on how I play and what my current configuration is. I know there are huge changes coming. My thief for example will be gaining a better use of Critical Damage. I chose a non-critical % stat for it. Just a thought. It couldn’t be too hard.
I just respecced to test, and yes, this is only with the rifled barrels trait. Someone in another thread mentioned that with rifled barrels, it seems the jump and land effects are actually reversed, which is probably the cause—therefore this would be a straight up bug.
Why that’s stupid? I need the range for combat not jumping. Jump Shot was a utility not necessarily an attack for which we fired our rifle for. We used it for a different purpose. If this purpose is no longer what Anet wants us to use it for then I’m shelving my Engie until such time it is fixed. Anet if you’re so darn fascinated by thieves then why put such a cool and interesting class such as Engineer in a game? Obviously we aren’t well liked around the office nor in game.
Agreed with OP. This skill used to be very useful, now with Arenanet’s inclination to continue to make other classes namely thief – overpowered, what’s the point? I loved being able to get to places I never could easily before. Jumping puzzles were fun and much easier to do. Did Jump Shot take away from anyone’s fun or did it break the game in a damaging way? Probably not. The engineer class itself is different then all the other classes. It plays different. It adds spice to a game that is apparently becoming just another MMO fantasy game. Sad. Please give us back Jump Shot not this Goomba Stomp thing. It’s useless. Just how many engineers are really playing the game anyway? I never see any besides myself and everyone kind of cringes when they see me. Engineer FTW!
I have this idea of a white t-shirted player running around in servers in WvW that can’t fight back in any way. Also they cannot be attacked. This is item should be a low cost gem item. There are certain servers (Fort Aspenwood) who simply will never get to be green or the same size Tarnished Coast or Dragonbrand on WvW. This greatly diminishes the gameplay/game replay value for those players. Guseting also does not fix this. As per a restriction of guesting, you will be moved back to your home server. I am a player interested in Map Completion. This is impossible with the current set up. I have even gone to great lengths to tell the other players nearby i’m not interesting in fighting. I only want the jumping puzzle or skill challenge. That still does not get me the Points of Interest.
Now one may wonder why this is important to me or anyone in general. Why per se? Well getting 100% map completion nets you an item NECESSARY for crafting Legendary Items. With out it you can’t make them at all. Now I know Arena Net thought that things would eventually balance themselves out but this is May 2013 now. The game has been running for many months now and things aren’t balancing themselves out. An item with a reasonable cost would definitely fix that. Also being able to get 100% map completion would help bring the cost down on the Black Lion Market for these Legendary Weapons. Just think of the accomplishment and pride a person has when you have so hard for this weapon you wanted. You have seen it in forums, websites, wikis for so long and now you own one. Anyone can get the crafting to 400+. Anyone can get the other materials. But getting 100% map completion? Forgetaboutit. DB and TC have love for anyone but themselves which is fine but how is it someone is supposed to get 100% map completion when your server is simply incapable.
Apparently ANet knows that there is a server population issue as far back January 2013. This is part of it. Jumping Puzzles, Points of Interest, Skill Points these all contribute to Map Completion.
If this isn’t the right idea then something needs to happen to help these players, self included, get that map completion. I am a bit of a completest, I admit. So are others. Help us please.
Thanks.
