brought up b4 and it will be again. Outfits

Just a flesh wound.3589

I don’t understand the allure of outfits, from a player’s point of view. Apart from the issues of dye channels and shoulders, everyone who wears them looks alike – which seems the very antithesis of what this game is about (Fashion Wars 2). You pay for them, and yet you look like other people wearing them. /shrug Each to his own, I guess.

My perspective

I get bored with my chars armor and want to switch it up. But problems….

1) it cost a T charge per switch. With multiple level 80s, casual switching eats up T charges fast which means if I switch around whenever I get bored I will run out of T charges. Which means doing content expressly to get T charges. Doing content to get T charges is booorriing. I will if I must but I’d rather not. And no, I’m not going to spend $/gold on a few T charges, which will get used up fast if used for casual switching.

2) if I’m wearing an armor set it’s because that’s the one I like the best. Switching to different armor pieces means I’m choosing a look that I don’t like as much. Switching to a look that I don’t like as much isn’t something I like to do.

Which leads to

3) I like the looks of most outfits. With a proper dye job to go with the weapons, auras, and backpack it’s quite possible to get an interesting look going.

4) with outfits I can switch every day to something completely different for no cost but a couple minutes of re-dying. I can also cross profession dress. For example, my heavy armors can wear light or medium outfits. My Necro can wear a heavy outfit. That’s something you can not do with armor.

5) it may be fashion wars but as long as I’m happy with how my chars look that’s all the “winning” I need.

Trade in permanent convenience items

Just a flesh wound.3589

You wouldn’t want to swap the royal terrace for mistlock if it weren’t for the fact that mistlock sanctuary is flat out superior for the same gem cost.

It’s what’s annoying about their practices, they introduce items that make the previous convenience items inferior.

So how is that different than any other convenience items sold in the world? Aren’t they all marketed with New! Improved! features that your old version didn’t have?

But actually, when you get to specifics your argument breaks down. Does the new Elon Lounge have improved features? How about the Nobel’s Pass? Those only have a different location, not new features.

New Mastery: Sitting in a Chair

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Just a flesh wound.3589

Just a flesh wound.3589

Here’s what they had to say back then

Sitting and chairs

“So, what’s the deal with chairs?”

A brief, surprised laugh. “You know, I honestly have no idea. One of the great challenges that we faced with chairs, and this is kind of ironic, is that because we put in five different races of differing heights into the game, we found we had to make every chair uniform and have everyone always sit on them the exact same way or build an entire system that recognizes the height of the chair and appropriately animates your character.”

Johanson adds dolefully, “We kind of forced ourselves into a corner where we either go back and re-art every chair in the game, or we build this system for sitting. I think in the grand scheme of things, given all the other projects, we have going on, sitting, as important as it is, is not something we’re currently working on.”

With that in mind the best option might be a chair toy. When you click on it your char becomes a char sitting on a chair.

Just a flesh wound.3589

No. Don’t remember the thread it originally came from, been a while. It’s been suggested a few times now that someone thought of it and seems fair enough. You still have to map complete at least one time and one char can open up the maps for two alts if desired. It also doesn’t lock players out of future Legendary crafting as they can always put one gift aside or create a char just for map completion.

How about a suggestion I’ve seen.

Players do map completion and get the 2 Gifts of Exploration. They can either use the Gift of Exploration to craft a Legendary or can use the Gifts to open up map completion on one or two alts. If they want they can use a different char to do map completion, get two more Gifts to use for crafting or to open up maps for two more alts.

I agree on filling out a support ticket. That is your best chance, though still a longshot. Ask also if it might be possible to merge your accounts, I’ve heard of such things being possible. Be prepared to prove that you own both accounts.

Also, be prepared for the answer to be “no”. Some things simply can’t be done within the framework of the game without breaking or ruining something.

Sadly, no-one can answer this but ANet Tech Support.

They’ve already answered before about merging accounts. It’s not possible.

We have very clear responses when players ask about this subject: We cannot merge accounts. The programming for each account is too complicated to allow us to simply “mash it all together” into one account. What about account-based titles? Access keys? Creation dates? Whose guild and alliance affiliation does the account assume? What PvP name? What about account violations? It truly is not possible to merge accounts.

And moving account bound items from one account to another is also not an option, especially since it’s not a recent mistake. If nothing else, they can’t remove the item from the wardrobe which means both accounts will have that skin.

Half Characters?

Just a flesh wound.3589

Oh wow…. I never thought it so grandiose! I figured maybe an instance, sure… but moreover, books dropped for story… not an entirely scripted/voiced/cinematic sort of thing. I agree that’s way over the top!

Why do the half characters have to be balanced with mains? I imagine playing an “oversized mini”!

I don’t see where you said anything about an instance. And if, as you suggested, it will be used in PvP then of course it will have to be balanced with full chars otherwise they’d be either too weak or too strong.

How about if they just give us combat tonics of various races instead of half characters with one set of standard armor and basic skills? You’d still have the one set of armor but you can use your regular skills (and hopefully this would be something an ingame vendor sells, not the gemstore).

Hero points sink(s)

Just a flesh wound.3589

Of course not everyone will have HoT and its Hero points. A portion will have only PoF and some of those will be playing on boosted level 80s and no map completion (alt accounts for example as well as new accounts). Any Hero point sink will need to keep in mind people who have PoF and core Tyria only, use the Hero Point sink to buy goodies then find themselves without enough Hero points to get the elite spec.

Hero points sink(s)

Posted by: Just a flesh wound.3589

Just a flesh wound.3589

Well, even if people use Hero points from HoT they are still going to need another 250 Hero points for the next expansion’s elite spec in another year or so. If each expansion requires that many then that should use them up fast enough. At that point it’s up to the player if they want to stock up with Hero points ahead of time or get them from the new maps.

No hit its self contained u dont need to go farm core hp’s and i expect the same with pof that leaves 260 or so core hps wasted and number of expacs wont save that unless expac 3 doesnt have hps or the cost is double. Which ifind very very unlikely.

And so players will have them already available if they want to get the elite spec right away at the start of the expansion. If they made everyone gather the necessary Hero points on the new maps then there will be a number of unhappy people, especially those who play WvW and don’t want to farm Hero Points in PvE.

If you don’t have PoF then Superior Rune of the Traveler is good for open world PvE. Unfortunately no food/nourishment gives a long term, useful speed boost.

Playing a toon of the opposite gender?

Just a flesh wound.3589

I’m a cishet male

Wtf is a “cishet”?

Male assigned at birth, male identifying, but non-conforming heterosexual.

Okay… and what does any of that mean? Explain it to me like I’m 6.

Cis stands for comfortable in skin.

Your sex and your gender match up (you’re not transgender).

Then het for heterosexual. So, cishet.

Actually cis is a Latin prefix that means ‘same as’, the opposite of trans. For example in molecular chemist you get cis isomers where all the functional groups in a molecule are on the same side, and trans isomers where they’re on opposite sides.

I suspect ‘comfortable in skin’ is a backronym.

Maybe. But if you google the meaning of cis in relation to gender, comfortable in skin is what you’ll find. It makes it easy to understand in an explanation, which undoubtedly is why it’s used (and why I used it above).

Edit: and I’m not talking about staring at backsides. I’m taking about being uncomfortable playing as the opposite sex.

But the only thing that says you are playing “as” a female by definition is… what? Right. Visuals. So yes. It’s all about staring at backsides.

Plus, the “opposite sex” is so diffuse. Have we ever seen what’s in their pants? We havent really seen anyone pregnant either. Who knows, maybe that’s why Logan is so moody.

The “backside” argument I see as an aesthetic argument. The uncomfortable argument is one where they are projecting themselves into the char and “seeing” themselves as a different sex. I don’t see it as a purely visual thing as a female can be covered up so that all you see is armor. It’s the projection of the self into that form that’s causing the discomfort for these people, not the form itself.

Which would relate to more men being more uncomfortable having a female char than females being uncomfortable having a male char.

Well it really depends on how you mean uncomfortable…

I find the prospect of staring at a mans hairy backside for thousands upon thousands of hours somewhat uncomfortable. I mean sure the GW2 men are basicly all supermodels with well toned buttocks, but still…

Edit: I managed to break censuring on the forum?! Better delete that line lol.

I did say more men than women.

I’ve seen threads like this several times over the years, in this forum and others. It’s always guys and female chars. I’ve never seen one for gals and male chars.

Well…im a girl, and i hate playing as a guy. I just dont see the big enough deal to make a thread for it..soo..

Yah. Same.

Maybe I should make a thread about females unable to play male chars because it makes us feel weird and we’re unable to relate to our chars….

Oh please, like anyone would care – the exact same discussion would ensue.

Don’t undermine the credibility of feminism by turning this into a feminist rage thing (like has become so common these days). Literally the only reason you haven’t seen threads from girls on the topic is because girls playing guys is not nearly as much of a norm as guys playing girls.

Feminist rage?? lol. No.

However, I am going to whisper something to you, so lean close

Men and women don’t think (or feel) the same
Yep. They don’t. It may be cultural or it may be biological but the two sexes aren’t identical in how they feel or react. In addition it’s more culturally allowed for women to take on “male” characteristics than men to take on “female” characteristics. Which would relate to more men being more uncomfortable having a female char than females being uncomfortable having a male char.

Support for more bank tabs

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Just a flesh wound.3589

Just a flesh wound.3589

I think there are more than enough bank tabs. Those who wish for more should learn to throw garbage items instead of amass them.

Your choice of what to save and not save is not everyone’s choice. What you might consider “garbage” items, someone else might find value in keeping.

More bank tabs are fine. There is no compelling reason for someone to be against it, makes absolutely no sense.

That’s a great sentiment and all, but doesn’t refute his point. The fact is, people who ran out of space just have trouble managing their inventory space. Adding more bank tabs will put that problem off for a few more weeks/months/years maybe, but eventually these same people will fill up those new tabs again, and request even more. And it comes down to not being able to manage inventory well.

Adding more bank tabs will not solve that problem, it just won’t. Eventually you’ll want even more, because you’ll fill up the new ones

Im sure hoarding is a valid point but other than that, what objections do you have to people giving money to ANet for more inventory space? What gameplay problems are caused by people having more bank tabs?

I’m not against more bank tabs, but adding more bank tabs won’t solve the problem, because the problem is poor inventory management. So its just putting the problem off. And I am against people just using bandaids instead of fixing actual problems in general. Which is exactly what this is. People don’t want to learn how to manage their inventories, so they just cry for more space. Except that won’t fix the problem, because they will eventually fill up that extra space with their poor inventory management.

I don’t really want to get into a huge argument, because it already happened a while ago when someone asked for more bag slots/bigger bags. It fundamentally does nothing to address the problem of poor inventory management, all it will do is make posts like this disappear for a while longer, but it solves nothing.

No offense and all, but what difference does it make to you if people ask to give ANet more money? How does this impact your gameplay? Why do you need to speak out against ANet giving players more inventory and making more money?

The gameplay problem is none on the players side, but it could be huge on Anet’s side.

What we don’t know is how Anet implemented storage and how it sends the storage data from the servers to the client in their code. Adding more bank tabs may be an simple coding change or it may require the whole system to be reengineered.

I’m good with their being more storage – more $$ for Anet with people buying bank tabs. I also know that hoarders will forever be slamming into whatever cap there is. Those folks can be an endless source of cash.

Well then it’s up to ANet to decide if they can add more bank tabs.

As is, the point about hoarding is irrelevant and whether or not it’s a strain on the servers is up to ANet to decide. All the players can do who would like more bank tabs is follow the suggestion by Support, which is to post on the forum to ask and show how many want it.

There’re something called “Poor Taste”. We just ask for an option so it won’t be imposed on others.

Poor taste is subjective. If people can ask for things they want to be removed from others because of “poor taste” there’d be very few cosmetic things left in the game. Asking to remove from others isn’t a good request. Asking to limit yourself with a toggle is better.

I don’t cut trees as intensively now that I got my sword crafted but if I see him again, ill take screenshot standing next to him.

Playing a toon of the opposite gender?

Well this thread has been informative.

From reading it, so far I’ve found that if I play female chars then it’s because of feminine aspects of my personality and if I play male chars is because of masculine aspects of my personality.

What this all means that a female playing female chars I’m expressing female personality traits. But I’m spending my time staring at female butts, so… I’m expressing male sexuality? I’m exhibiting latent lesbian traits? But if I play male chars, while I’m now being sexual normative by staring at male butts I’m expressing masculine personality traits.

Hmmmm.

Nowhere in all this contradictory mess am I allowed to play which gender I want based on nothing more than aesthetics.

To all the deep psycho analysis some have made I say, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar (that is, you’re looking too deep into a shallow choice).

I’ve seen threads like this several times over the years, in this forum and others. It’s always guys and female chars. I’ve never seen one for gals and male chars.

Well…im a girl, and i hate playing as a guy. I just dont see the big enough deal to make a thread for it..soo..

Yah. Same.

Maybe I should make a thread about females unable to play male chars because it makes us feel weird and we’re unable to relate to our chars….

I play mostly female toons and in all the years of playing I can only remember once or twice someone saying something. I really don’t think that’s a common problem. If you’re getting remarks, maybe you’re saying things in chat that gets people to react.

I need a Luck Essence eater. We all do.

A couple of things

1) the luck eater shouldn’t go to the general population but only to those who have maxed out luck. Considering how little impact luck seems to have on day to day drops, wouldn’t a luck eater that gives you items be more valuable than luck itself? If ANet gave a luck eater that gave items worth more than advancing your luck then no one would advance their luck bar. If instead it gives items of little value then it wouldn’t be worth tying up an inventory slot.

2) it should give mats only. If it gave gear, then it has a (diminishing) loop where you eat luck to get gear, salvage, get more luck which goes to the luck eater to get more gear. Salvage for more luck.

Of course, this (and the other eaters) can impact the value of mats, making them worth less gold to sell and making events less rewarding as the salvaged gear is of even less value.

Item to transfer map completions

Why transferring? Why not a gizmo that gives a new char map completion with no XP, map completion rewards or Gift of Exploration? Probably a lot easier to code than taking from one char and giving to another.
