Doublehex.2750:

Instead of specific files, it should be a custom playlist file (such as .m3u) for each zone. Sub zones would be awesome as well. but if we get stuck with just zones I would be happy.

Well the current system already uses m3u’s but you cannot specify zones sadly

Hi,

so I’d like the ability to customize music per zone instead of just having it chosen out of a random collection in a category (Ambient, city, etc)

So like Queensdale would plays song ABC.mp3
and in Divinity’s Reach it would play song CDA.mp3
and then in Lonars’ Pass it would play song TTT.mp3

Hey there,

just wondering if there is any way to have per city soundtracks in the custom playlist?

So like I’d say play this song only in Divinity’s Reach or such

I wouldn’t call the people who sell it scammers – they just pick a price to sell an item. What it does and how it is named is by ANet. If they sellers themselves named it, then it would be a scam, this way it is not.

It’s not hard to believe that the people who crafted the “exotic” draconic box of armor knew that the materials going into it are actually for rare/yellow items. They’re pricing what looks like an exotic/orange box of armor at exotic armor prices when they more than likely know it just contains rare/yellow armor and the cost for them to craft the box reflects that.

Well my point is, that does not matter.
They can price it at any way they want. If they named it the way it is called then they would scam you imo, but Name, Function and Look are completely by ANet.

It would be scamming if they went in /map and selling it and especially (falsely) stating that it gives you the Armor

I didn’t like Aion’s CC at all, because you could create the weirdest freaks of nature with it. I’m very glad the GW2 CC doesn’t allow this.

And it allows for actual beauty rather than all the so-so characters I see :P

Whats wrong with “weird freaks of nature”? If people like their character that way, why not let them have it? One could call Charr freaks of nature because they’re big talking cats/wolfs or something ~

You ask what’s wrong with them? How about this and this ?
It’s just an incredible eyesore to see characters like this running around. It’s a dead-sure immersion breaker, for one thing, and it just completely messes up the art style of the game because the characters don’t fit into the world any more.

The charr are a defined race integrated into the art style of the game. That’s something very different.

Oh, and the GW2 CC does allow for actual beauty (by the way … eye of the beholder and all that … ). I’m completely happy with my characters and wouldn’t want them to look any other way, I could achieve the exact look I wanted every single time.

and those are not even the worst I seen in Aion, what about the characters that have heads that are like 2 times the size of their bodies? THEN we talk outright disgusting

That said specially hair and face options i would like a LOT more, though i think body options as pretty good, for once i dont want to see those ugly characters you could make in Aion, and also giving too much freedom there would make you able to totally kitten up the races compared to eachother. I dont want to see giant Asuras runing around or tiny Norn’s after all

Then add some form of restriction just less than there is, maybe have a maximum head size to body ratio or whatever, would still make me able to make an actual good looking and somewaht shorter human instead of the so-so semi-somewhat-good-looking ones i can make atm

(yeah thats personal opinion @ how good they look, but thats the point, more freedom in creation = wider range of tastes covered)

You could still easily add restrictions (e.g. maximum head-to-body-size-ratio) that keep them realistic without restricting them as much as they are at the moment, not to mention the clone-army aspect if theres only 8 body styles to choose :P I’d like my character’s body to be somewhat unique and customized

Hi there,

basically just add an option to have the click display the current ingame time? (As in time the game-world is in (so the time thats used for day/night cycle etc))

Humans:

- Faces, faces, faces: Yes – faces. Humans fall worst in my opinion. People have been complaining for months. Pointing out that humans look like supermodels. Too pretty. Too polished. Too perfect.

Humans are my favourite race in the game and I think they look great! Very happy with the level of customization. (Although my friend wants a ponytail for his necro badly)

Well more options = more options for people that don’t like the current ones

and @City of Heroes: really? I found char customization horrible there Oo

Actual spears for melee combat
Scythes

But others already said those

Most of my names work if you add a surname

I wouldn’t call the people who sell it scammers – they just pick a price to sell an item. What it does and how it is named is by ANet. If they sellers themselves named it, then it would be a scam, this way it is not.

Add cat-ear-hairbands to cashshop

Add Death Dealer to your friends list and see if he’s ever online?

Zalon.7618:

I’m a Lv80 ele. full gold healing gear(and most accessorys for a total of 1349 healing power). My water blast can heal for just over 500, geyser heals somewhere between 1100-1200 per tic, and healing rain heals for 300-400 if i remember right. Also when i change into water i do a small aoe heal for 2500-3000hp. Can’t remember what the smoothing mist regen heals per tic. Think around 130-150.

And how do you rate those numbers? Think they’re too low?

@Laughter: I’m level 11 so nothing much atm xD

@Usage of DPS Meters: Well if you die every 5 seconds your high DPS won’t do much and your overall DPS will drop anyway :P So of course if people only rely on some DPS Meter and die often they fail, even possible that lower-dps-builds that actually survive to do their DPS end up being better
Now the problem is supporters which do less dmg but maybe some healing and removing conditions and such ^^"

Laughter.7042:

Healing power seems pretty awesome to me. I’m a Water Elementalist though focusing on pure support with +Healing in all my armor.

Yeah thats waht i’m trying to do, just wondering why my main heal only was upped by 3 points in the tooltip when i added 50 healing power

its 50% more dmg no? Crit Dmg only adds up to that then, from what I’ve heard

Whats TESO? Never heard of it

Precision seems pretty Crit-Chance changing even without stacking it though xD But I’ll see, only Level 10 yet

As you said, eye of the beholder :P
I dislike the faces and body options and most of the hairstyles~

Immersion Breaker – well we get Sunglasses & Co. in the ItemShop which people call Immersion breakers so I don’t see them caring about that too much?

And yeah it breaks the immersion of a perfect world where everyone looks roughly the same in the set boundaries? Well thats life, there are some people that look “odd”
I don’t see how it breaks immersion anyway? Unless of course the immersion was the beauty-world I mentioned.

A wider char creation allows for everyone to do what they want, someone might prefer a “weird” looking char, others some that suits their taste of beauty

For me height is too limited, face sliders are too limited, theres only 1 good face preset and 1-2 good hairstyle presets with about 1 so-so body presets xD

Doctor Ivo Robotnik.3879:

Dear God, I hope not.

We don’t need inflated egos.

Yeah we like narrow-minded people who only see a single use for DPS meters

Character Creation

I saw some other game having this:

- Save looks.. So you can go into the character creation, make your char, save it’s look to reuse later on or for another character etc instead of having to set everything right again.

I don’t see it being out of reach? Darkness is easy to implement, Foggy areas where I had a hard-ish time seeing are there already too

It would mostly be a programming thingy, the effects I’ve seen around already imo.

@Day/Night: yeah I dislike how its so bright at night and how the world is not affected by night at all :/ Again would mostly be a programming thingy, assigning a different AI and such

i’d love to see seasons too

And I don’t even roleplay I just like being in a world that feels like it is an actual world

Character Creation

- more Hairstyles (especially stuff like twintails, ponytails I saw a lack of @ humans; but might just be my perception)

- Body Sliders (so you can actually adjust your body instead of just choosing some presets)

- More face sliders with wider effect-range and wider effect-range for existing face-sliders (in the best solution IMO the faces you can choose are just presets for all the sliders instead of already largely declaring the look that the face will have)

- Maybe more colors for eyes and such (also I’ve seen Sylvari having a ton of colors more than other races o.o)

- Bigger height range (so you can make smaller characters, maybe even children? [I’ve seen some people RP children/young-teens but it was a bit awkward since they all look like grown-ups pretty much; now you might argue you can imagine it for RP and yeah you can, but then you could just text-RP on some chat website instead of doing it in GW])

Character Window:

- A sum-up of attributes would be nice (stuff like Magic-Find or Healing Power etc) With a small explanation tooltip what they do

Keys

- Ability to bind Interaction and Looting to different keys

- [Saw someone saying that somewhere:] Have a mode where ground-targetted AoE show their ground-target circles when you push the key and are cast on the position where the circle is when you release the key

I dislike the character creation too :/

Not enough faces to choose from – faces should be more presets than setting most of the actual shape anyway. Then the sliders should have a wider effect range with more sliders so you can actually customize the face and not just mildly adjust the face you chose before.

Body needs sliders instead of just “choose these”. Aion was so great in that
Height range should be bigger, more hairstyles needed too

And yeah its new and some things e.g. hairstyles I can see being added
I’m uncertain if they’ll change it to have more sliders and more body customization though…

I liked Aion’s sliders, you could actually change stuff with them
For anyone who didn’t see them:
http://www.kurl.de/aion

Some people might not care about as much as the character looks and yeah atm i’m enjoying the game greatly even though i’m not quite satisfied with how my char looks, but in the long run if i’m going to invest so much time into a character I would also want it to look nice

You mean an actually visible timer? I wouldn’t like that, kinda breaks the immersion I think. Part of the beauty is to wait or just come into it and tag along.

This. Also the other stats… I haven’t seem a sum-up of e.g. healing power or stuff yet

Hi,

so I wondered. Putting on 50 healing power changes my heal in the tooltip from 51 to 54. Is that a display bug or is healing power just that useless?
Regeneration effects seem to be affected more though~

I know they don’t want healing to be a replacement for actually dodging stuff, but come on? 50 Healing Power should change it more than 3 points?

Not trying to complain just wondering why it changes so little and if thats just a display bug or something
