So to be clear, are they cancelled or delayed? I keep seeing people use the word cancelled despite the fact ‘indefinitely’ was used in the op???
Either way im not happy, legendaries were the main thing i was looking forward to within this expansion (you know waited 3+ years for more of them already!!!). And really i dont think its fair to cancel/delay this part of the game to improve a pve only aspect of the game.
Im guessing the skins themselves are designed, if its the story/collection thats going to hold them back just release them in the original legendary format. I just want something to work towards i dont care if its part of some silly collection like the current new ones or if its more gold based like the originals.
Really hope we see these skins ingame one way or the other before the next expansion since we all paid for it.
I think there are a few simple fixes needed for this event:
1- make mobs drop blooms, this would fix the issue regarding a lack of rewards vs time and fix the issue of people just tagging events and leaving.
2- every event completed should reward blooms immediately, remove the stacks as not everyone has time to spend the entire half hour doing the event, and in the case of disconnect it is ridiculous that you lose all progress.
My concern is just mesmers atm, its actually put me of pvp entirely. I used to love it before the change usually ranked top of my team etc.
But now it seems all of the classes i actually enjoyed struggle something shocking against a mesmer. For example on my engi i just went to engage a mesmer, im not glass cannon and i was dead within a second, i couldnt even activate one skill. 28k damage, dead. Thats nothing short of kittened when you cant even defend yourself.
Honestly im from australia and completely understand why we dont have a server. Those people that think we should have one should google our population vs every other country. Then look at the costs of running a server and consider if australia even has the population ingame to populate it (considering probably half of us wouldnt change due to guilds/friends etc).
I admit its a bit annoying having the lower hand in pvp, and i know it is on occasion the difference between winning a 1vs1 and not but ive also found over time just knowing more about the opposing class can in many situations help you evade or avoid attacks.
Definitely some issues with people spawning useless npcs. Was stuck in a game with this one mesmer 3 games in a row who would constantly run supply and always spawn bombers….despite the fact there were 6 npcs between the bombers and the gate + players…. as far as the initial wave of npcs sent i found 3 archers and 2 bombers was successful.
Im not to fussed about having a queue for courtyard, but i am hoping to see a seperate unranked and ranked queue option for conquest and stronghold. Im presuming stronghold will release with at least 3 maps (hopefully) and think this would be the best option to keep everyone happy. Maybe even a third option for both for ‘any’ in the case the user doesnt care which game mode.
First impressions are pretty good, didnt experience any lag or fps issues in the new zone which is great.
Skills look great and i love the art style of the skills (heres hoping everyone else gets a upgrade!) I think theres definitely some balancing to get around to.
One issue though is the masteries bar section when opened, on a triple monitor 5760p it goes across all of the screens as current, im hoping to see this changed so it opens only on the central monitor with all of our other UI elements at launch.
Edit: For the mastery system, i found this initially confusing. Honestly i didnt notice it was a scroll bar and was confused as to where gliding and mushrooms were lol. But maybe a quick tutorial is needed.
Also gliding isnt great….its just missing something. Ive played a few mmos with flying or gliding and they have a thrill to it, here its just ‘meh’. Its one thing i think archeage had right was gliding.
Agree with the comments here, i got called into a 12hour shift and returned to find the event finished, which i was fine with until i realized they hadn’t left any npc at all to trade most of the event items into after the event ended! Im now left with two full bank slots of skulls nougat etc unrefined, didnt end up being able to buy half the recipes etc with corn cobs that id wanted, plus it seems im stuck with a lot of cobs that are now relatively useless on top of it =(
Why werent these items all added to the npc that has the previous events items in LA?
Dear Queen, could you please assign any number to the person that I quoted below, I couldn’t find his name on any of the list and I feel bad for him ><’
Thank you
Im also not happy about the selling of items, as you’ve listed it now takes longer to sell stuff and i find it frustrating i now have to double check where that little tick is. Simply annoying.
But whats worse is the browsing experience, to buy things has been completely ruined. (I don’t even understand how someone was dumb enough to suggest this new system and how so many people were idiot enough to approve it to be frank)
I used to search through weapon skins, dyes, minis, other bits and pieces by setting a price to high or low and just just browsing through various pages buying things as i pleased, well now if i do that i get to see 20 odd listings then at the bottom im told to “refine my search” well how the hell am i going to refine my search when i don’t know what i want is named? Hell sometimes im not even after something in particular, im just looking and might buy something. So with this new system if i was just looking to buy some dyes for example, but didn’t know the exact name of the color i wanted id now have to go and Google for a page with all of the colors, then go and refine my search and do this many many times, before i could just browse through and go ‘hey i like that color*buy*’.
Well it was fun at first, loved it infact but must admit now its just plain annoying, as a Aussie went to bed with plans of making a character today and using my makeover kit on it, but that’s impossible when their head doesnt even show up in the menu because its that big =/
Invisible bags are working in that they stop your items from being deposited as a collectible, and they dont show up in a merchant, however they still show up in the trading post when your selling items, i believe they shouldnt show up here either and that this has been overlooked.
Would really like to see a auto-summon option for miniatures so we dont have to resummon manually every time we change zones as it gets tedious pretty quickly.
Perhaps a slot for miniatures in the hero panel (under H) which auto-summons the mini in that slot would be a good idea that im sure the community would appreciate.
