Yet another thread complaining about the Queensdale train. Give it a rest already, we know Anet will nerf it eventually, just like they nerf every other thing that is even remotely farmable. They are just biding their time.

Nat.4029:

Because transforming into a hoverboard with no rider would be ridiculous? Not every mount has to be an animal.

I can’t lie, using a hover board on my Asura would actually be pretty sweet.

Caedmon.6798:

The broom yeah..I remember buying that item with GEMS..untill anet decides to disable it everywhere but in pve…Thanks for the waste of gems anet ,appreciate you taking the fun out of every little aspect in your game

Aww I wasn’t aware of that. So that’s why our commanders stopped using it in WvW. That sucks, I always found it humorous when they used it for some odd reason.

There are already things like the flying broom. It does not give any speed buff, it just makes you look like you’re on a flying broom. I don’t even think you can attack while on it. So there is already a precedent for other mounts. There just isn’t a high demand for them, or if there is people are being really quiet about it. If Anet were to add more mounts, they would probably make them function exactly like the broom, because at that point all they have to do is swap the models and use the same code.

It wouldn’t really make a difference. People will complain anyways because people love to complain.

You know Anet, you need to improve your encounter design. You already made a good first step with Tequatl, and the mobs for the Tower of Nightmare LS. Now you need to do that with all of the existing mobs in the game, particularly dungeon bosses. Once you do that, a large majority of the PvE balance issues will disappear completely or at least be greatly reduced.

With these bi-weekly updates, it does not surprise me that this happened. I really feel for their QA team. QA is not a simple thing, since they usually end up being the ones to fix bugs as well. Poor guys must be getting worked to the bone.

At that point you may as well just allow players to flag themselves as pvp mode and restrict them to only being able to fight other players with the pvp mode flag. That way you have to consent to pvp since you would have to go out of your way and open a menu to turn it on. I personally wouldn’t mind a system like that when I want to be in a combat situation that simply cannot be satisfied by WvW or sPvP.

In fact I would prefer this to a dueling system since it would just allow us to fight as soon as we see another flagged player and not have the whole pop-up thing to accept a duel. Or if we wanted to have a formal duel just /bow like we already do in WvW. I doubt this will be implemented anyways since this is supposedly a casual game and all, but if nothing else at least give us a proper dueling system, Anet.

For me, the character creation itself gives me the bond to my characters. The fact that I can actually give a proper space instead of a stupid dot or underscore allows me to actually give my characters a unique name, and for me the naming of a character is huge (I often spend at least 10 minutes of thinking of a name I’ll be satisfied with, and deleted many characters whose names I wasn’t satisfied with because I thought of a better one).

I do wish there was more customization available, for example giving my thief a proper scar without it looking like a black eye and broken nose lol. The personal story does help a bit, but honestly once you reach the orders phase it all boils down to the same thing. I prefer to give my characters their own backstory even if I’m the only one that will know it. I could type several pages on this so I’ll stop here.

While new weapons would be nice, I would like to have more variation on the weapon skills we have now that we could switch around like utilities. For example, a choice between two or three different auto attack skills, or #5 skills, etc. Granted it might take a while to balance. That said, if the were to give us more weapons, dual swords please.

If anything they should remove the cap on aoe. If you can’t dodge out of a big red circle of fiery death then you pretty much deserve to be hit. I’ve never killed anyone using meteor shower unless I just happened to be lucky enough to hit a downed person, so it is more of an area denial ability than anything else.

That Mystic Armor concept looks really awesome. I wonder why they never made it?
