I hope they never ever implement this. To be honest, I feel the community attitude has gone downhill over time and adding this feature would just add the finishing touch and destroy what little is left of it.

In a game where dodge and block is not a percentage but an actual action by the player, having the “meta” gear sometimes will not save your party even when everyone has what is recommended. I feel this option will only promote harassment, trolling, and bullying.

I really like the Personal Housing that FFXIV has inside the Guild Homes there. You can just buy an instanced room there and you have your own space inside Guild Headquarters. I think that would be awesome!

Separate personal housing would be amazing but that’s not what this topic is about

I despise the Sylvari, “This rose has thorns! And here they are!” It’s awful, but I get it from other players every so often. Maybe not enough to activate this option, but It’s great that it is available just in case I’m in a funky mood one day

I didn’t even consider this, because I play a Sylvari. So it didn’t even hit me until I saw this. I don’t think it necessarily needs to be addressed. If it’s not in the storyline, it’s not in the storyline. Forcing the issue might turn out with a not so great story. Maybe someone will get introduced at a later time?

Underwater Combat Needs Fixing

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Kiba.9743

Kiba.9743

A separate trait line for underwater combat. Doesn’t have to be 3×3×3 necessarily, but enough to add more variety whilst in the depths. Take current traits for spearguns/spears/tridents away from the current trait lines, and put them in the underwater combat line instead, for example.

This is an idea with merit. I think working in something like this.

I enjoy the depth that underwater combat brings to the game so I really hope they do not remove it. Yes, it is a bit overlooked, but it has excellent potential. I like that you get different weapons for that situation. It also provides a “reason” for your character being able to stay underwater for so long (breathers). instead of just magically being able to breathe down there forever.

I was bummed when they took out that pvp map with the underwater capture point…

I forget what each one is called so I was about to start writing, I use a Shift 2, then 3,4,2or 5, maybe a Shift 1 if people are in need then finish with a 2…lol.

I do not like to WvW, I only visit EOTM when I want something in particular and it is in a zerg to make it easier on myself. But maybe my two cents can help you in some way?

I do use Verdant Etching on the Druid Tree. I really like it. I also use Glyph of Empowerment during CA to boost healing on allies. I immediately use #3, followed by #4. #2 or #5 depending on my range at the time and the situation. I also like using Glyph of Rejuvenation for a big support heal on my team if needed and I try to finish with a #2 since it is a delayed heal.

Traits system does not prone build diversity

I somewhat agree with this. I used to have a hybrid build before the new trait system was implemented. When that was no longer possible, I died a little inside. Now you HAVE to pick three and max them out. Whereas before I could do partial trait lines.

I remember when I would see a Spirit ranger back when they could move. They had a whole jungle of stuff behind them lol. I use the Elite Spirit 100% of the time to bring back all downed players in one swoop and avoid a complete wipe. It is irreplaceable to me, though I’m sure no one notices the lives saved. The smaller ones, I only use one from time to time if it is a long stationary fight to make sure everyone is benefiting the entire time.

I look at player characters a lot when in the city. Zoom in and all. So I can judge how they look. I enjoy seeing a very well-made character that looks great or have a chuckle if I see something ridiculous.

I usually only use a waypoint one time to get to the map I need and I walk the rest of the way. I’m really cheap and waypointing all the time is expensive!

I would love class necklaces. Not girly, but cool ones made out of stainless steel or something hardy. Like the picture below (Yay Rangers).

Also, I use a canvas sling bag instead of a purse. So if you guys ever came out with canvas bags with the logo, I would definitely buy that!

I saw the option for wall decals, I would love that idea. To put a big one behind the couch wall or something. GW2 art is beautiful, I can only guess it would turn out great.

Most importantly, Please sell the cookbook from April Fools!!

I meant the root. Many ranger mains preferred the old mechanics. Myself included. But don’t start another kitten argument over how we’re all wrong, it’s over.

Yes, the “root” or target lock really was a must for me. Which bums me out because I received someone’s sword from the story (If you know what I mean >.>) And I was really excited about using the skin, then I remembered and got bummed out. It’s sitting in my bank now instead.

I’m probably one of the few who liked the sword the way it was. Mainly because it allowed me to “chase” in PvP when it would lock on. I was always a shortbow/Sword Dagger Ranger. This animation has single-handedly caused me to make a whole different build around different weapons and stats due to how awful it looks.

Moth Glider [Question/Suggestion]

Kiba.9743

I got the moth glider and while I think it is very neat, I immediately noticed a slight issue. I think this is the first time that a glider is both dyeable and a backpiece. The back piece has a default red color and does not match up the gliding version. So it makes it a little odd. Maybe this is something that was overlooked but perhaps a future fix for these types of gliders in general.

I just want to say thank you, Arenanet for adding this excellent feature. Seems like a small detail, but what an awesome way to give flexibility to those that like to play with their appearance. I think I spend more in Total Makeover Kits than anything and I always feel like I need to have one in the bank, just to have it as a previewer.

It is very nice to think of something like this that can help you gain more from players but also help us the players make decisions and play around a bit before spending.

I think this suggestion has merit. I would like to see something like this get implemented. I only do dungeons when I want a certain skin and no other time. And when I do, I hate it and force myself to do it because I dislike all the players skipping through everything. I would gladly forgo playing with other people so I can have a better experience.

I’ve read some and skimmed over most of the responses here, I expect mine will be taken as a grain of salt by most as well, BUT…

Who. Cares.

Unless you’re applying to ArenaNet for a job.

(almost) EVERY company in America is trying to do more with less. I wear five different hats at my job because as people leave, I get to do their jobs in addition to the one(s) I’m already doing. “Upstairs” too amibitious? Yeah, that’s their job.

What matters is the product. Everyone here’s acting like they know everything on management, and I’m sure several of you do, but what it all boils down to (unless you’re employed by them or seeking employment) is whether or not the product sells. It ain’t a charity.

Let’s use the forums to discuss the actual product/game?

This is a good comment. You are right.

My opinion is that it needs to be removed. It reminds me of the original FFXIV. I believe it also had a Diminishing Return system in which the longer a player played, the more he was punished. Everyone hated that as well…

I don’t want everything but I’m considering buying this. I don’t care about the glider much but it’s alright to have I guess (I’ll never know if I may want that style later on). I know I don’t care at all about the weapon skin, not really my style. I just like the outfit and I certainly spend gems regularly on Total Makeover kits so that’s nice. The Shadow dyes are cool. I have never spend gems on buying dye kits, so this is an overpay on my part, but it’s neat to have them anyway..you never know.

Hiding pet name?

I would love it if the names were hidden. For two reasons. My pets do not have any names so I just remove the “juvenile” part of it. Not because I am lazy but because I have no particular name in mind. Also, the main reason why I never join a guild is because I hate that the guild tag is shows besides the pet name as well.

Ranger PvE build help.

Kiba.9743

Hi Serpiente,

You can certainly go to full Berserker gear. However, just keep in mind this will make you very squishy. The enemies you will face in the jungle hit hard. If you are comfortable with dodges and using them appropriately without wasting them I say give it a shot. Also, make sure you have some emergency utilities to help get you out of tight spots. I think conditions are a good choice as well, maybe go with a stat that gives good condition damage and some survivability though I am not too familiar with condition builds, but they certainly seem fun.

I personally spec into BeastMastery and choose high damage (Birds) pets to help me out. Rotating them appropriately without receiving the 45sec penalty when your pet dies certainly helps. I have a more tanky build with BM spec and it works great for me.

So if you go full dps make sure you are dodging correctly, and are making full use of your pet to help you. Also utilities that will help you avoid damage to yourself and help you get away such a Lightning Reflexes. Addition: I recommend a pet that immobilizes to keep the enemy at bay. Or if you spec into Beastmastery, you can always pick the trait that allows your pet to taunt to keep them away from you.

Why the pets stop when cast F2?

in Ranger

Posted by: Kiba.9743

Kiba.9743

Try a bird. They are able to move while executing the F2 ability and if timed right will attack twice in a row. I am strictly a bird user and they are (I believe) the only pets that can attack in motion. I haven’t used any of the HoT pets, but they’re ugly so I won’t be testing them anytime soon. I suggest perhaps a Hwk/Eagle. You can use the F2 ability every 4 seconds if you are BeastMaster.

Unless it is something that is really not for me, like the WvW, I try to save money and do it myself. My goal is to craft one material a day. It will take me a month or two but it has been fun.
