Where do you get the skull shoulder armor from? What set does it come from?

It’s a shoulder skin from the Halloween event. You might still be able to get it, but, I’m not sure. If it IS still on the TP, it will probably be a LOT of gold lol

The skins are: Deathly Mantle (light), Deathly Shoulderpads(med), and Deathly Pauldrons(heavy)

Promise them a night of “heaven”, then drain their lifeless corpse of it’s blood, so you can bathe in it…Gotta maintain that beauty, after all

Hahadori.7548:

Pure evil in a four foot tall package.

Sometimes the smallest creatures are the most deadly

OrianZeta.1537:

Still want some Arah garb but not doing that any time soon, and she doesn’t seem to mind.

Got that “Tribal Shaman” look going on. No sacrificing people to your pagan gods, now!! lol

PlagueParade.7942:

You decide which asura is more evil. =oP

Hmm..that’s a tough one. I like the Sleek/Dark look of your “American Mcgee’s Alice Chesshire-cat” Asura, but, I think I like the “Skullcandy Minnie Mouse” Asura, better.

Some Men Just Want to Watch the World Burn

NICE!!. I always wanted to use the “Liam Neeson” face, but, never got around to it :/

locoman.1974:

Hello there..

Ancient Vampire Clown!!

Invictus.1503:

Not even wearing the tentacles (I have, but like my Halloween back piece better).

You look like you’re about to steal someones soul…this in good…this is VERY good lol

Kyvia.5961:

My little evil Necro
She likes eating Charr babies with Tapatio!

NICE!!. I could have swore I saw her running around with the Orcs in the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy

RuneCrimson.7380:

My Charr is a Fiary Demon from hell lol

Reminds me of the “Daemon” mobs from “Ultima 8: Pagan”

Kasenai.9418:

Evil without tentacles or spikes ftw!

PERFECT!!

Azure Prower.8701:

Hi guys. What’s going on here?

You have the “Creepy Clown” look on LOCK-DOWN lol

MLieBennett.9031:

Does Lawful Evil or Professional Evil count as Evil-looking? Strangely, I find this look much more … serious and evil then my assassin + tentacles look.

Shot with the Consortium workers because … well, why not work with the shady group?

Oh, and of course my Cosmetic doesn’t match the standard Consortium uniform. That uniform is meant for the day laborers and victi … I mean, the normal workers who don’t fight.

That’s cool. Kinda makes me think of “Harley Quinn”, when i look at her lol

Ygdrad.7839:

I derped up and kept the UI in, but here are mine.

With bonus charred cub.

Oh, that’s pretty sick. You look freakin psycho LOL

Torpian.9142:

That last screenshot you posted Auesis is awesome, it looks like promotion artwork for the game – well done!

Here’s my thief, Kaitona:

NICE!!, you have the “Dark Brotherhood” vibe going on!

Auesis.7301:

Not particularly “evil”, more of a “don’t mess with this person” vibe.

That’s the sort of vibe I go for with all my characters, though my Guardian is just a big blob of handsome and not intimidating at all…

kitten , I LOVE that 3rd pic. Did you draw that?, or did you have someone do it for you?

Conncept.7638:

We just had a flashy dagger added, the Molten Alliance daggers. Unfortunately instead of making amends and finally putting effort in to any weapon besides greatswords, ANet decided to deliver a big ‘screw-you’ to its fans and hide them behind one of the most greedy and asinine RNG drops ever to grace a non-F2P MMO.

I’m gonna HALF agree with you. I DO think the method of getting one of those skins was terrible. On the other hand, I’m GLAD they made it difficult for people to get. It ensures that the people who DO get it, appreciate it more.

Tagus Eleuthera.7305:

I actually agree with this. Most of the dagger skins are either boring or ridiculous. And the legendary dagger isn’t even a dagger… its a blowtorch? I guess its not as bad as the pistol with tassles or the bow that shoots unicorns, but that’s not saying much.

I love my Incinerator. It makes a pretty cool sound when you throw it, it causes a cosmetic burning effect on whatever it is you’re attacking, the arm holding it is always on fire, and you leave a trail of fire when you run/walk. That’s a LOT cooler than some of the legendary weapons.

Kirito.8796:

I feel the named exotic daggers are a little lacking and was wondering if a mists type dagger could be implemented? Don’t get me wrong Incinerator looks amazing, but its a little too far out of reach. I’m craving daggers with particle effects!

Is that dagger really worth 100g? (the other 100g dagger pretty much looks the same too)

DUDE…it’s a glass shank…it doesn’t get much cooler than THAT lol

Starscream.6498:

Here’s mine:

I like that!!. He looks like an “Evil Prince”, or an “Evil Drill Sergeant” lol

I had “Evil Overlord” in mind but I guess that works too :P

Well, an “Evil Overlord” is what you get, when an “Evil Prince” mates with an “Evil Drill Sergeant”, so i was HALF right…twice…which means i accurately guessed “Evil Overlord” when you total things up LOL

Anet didn’t “clearly state” that there would be NO expansions. They said that one was not being planned “YET”. They want to focus on the “living story”, for now, and work on an expansion in the FUTURE. I would imagine sometime next year, but, who knows. Could be later than THAT.

Maximum Potato.5923:

Oh, so just because he’s a Charr, you instantly think he’s evil? Well, maybe you think all Azurans are midgets then? And all Sylvari are veggie-munching tree huggers, huh? That’s some quality racism right there bro!

On topic, I don’t really have any evil looking characters :p

To answer all those questions…..“YES”…..that is all lol

Starscream.6498:

Here’s mine:

I like that!!. He looks like an “Evil Prince”, or an “Evil Drill Sergeant” lol

Do what the Thread title says, and post a pic of your evilest looking characters!

Here are mine:
Sylvari Ele.- Tier2 Cultural Armor (abyss dye) w/ Sclerite Karka Shell, Incinerator, and Fused Dagger Off-hand.

Charr Warrior- Cultural Armor Mix w/ Fused Gauntlets (abyss dye), Molten Jetpack, and Greatsaw

I’m fine with the RNG on the forge…as far as “Greens” into “Yellows”, goes. I forged 19 rares, just from the “Greens” that dropped, while farming the “Instigator” events in Southsun. I broke all of them down, using a “Black Lion Kit”, and got 36 ectos. Those sold for 7g 16s. The sigils, and runes added another 1g 2s. A little under 10g isn’t bad, for a couple hours of event farming.

Now as far as “Precursors”, and other “Legendary” related items go??…those have terrible RNG.

EDIT: After thinking about it, I feel that the “Clovers” aren’t THAT bad. At least you end up getting some T6 mats, or some lodestones if you fail

I’m not. Those skins are terrible. a freakin blinking eye…REALLY??… :/

I had an issue pop up where “Magg” wouldn’t follow my group. He took off down a tunnel, and started shooting at something that wasn’t even there. We tried resetting, by porting back the the waypoint, but, it didn’t help. Anyone else have that problem?

Per 300000000001 accounts:

events : 2
drops: 1
Forge: 30

You have a better chance of hitting a “unicorn”, TODAY, with a rock you threw when you were 6 years old.

God, i hope they don’t. “Guild Halls” are something we definitely need, but, “houses” are just too much. They’re completely useless to at least one of the characters, as well. What use does a “Charr” have for a “house”??…they spend their whole lives training, and on the battlefield. That IS their “house”. The only way for “houses” to make sense for THEM, would be to make a giant “campsite”, that every legion returns to at the end of the day.

I’m about 70% done with my legendary. I only have “dusk”, and “gift of twilight” left. I’ve decided, that I’m just going to BUY “Dusk”. It’s the only 100% guaranteed method, and I would rather pay 600G+ for it, than run the risk of spending the same amount, just to get NOTHING.

I understand the items are supposed to be “rare”, but, they don’t need to be “Struck by lightning on a sunny cloudless day” rare. It seriously wouldn’t hurt to increase the drop rate, by 10%. Especially since they’re items the majority of the player base has NO USE FOR. If the majority of the players won’t even attempt to craft the other three items, there’s really no need to restrict them, like they WOULD.

Primernova.5791:

Why is this not in game? I know GW2’s signature is breaking the trinity, but why?

90% of MMO players like to DPS, 6% like to heal and 4% like to tank, in my expeirence.

Seems like a DPS/Support focused set up is best right? Wrong.

Tank players, love tanking and the pressure it gives them. Healers love to support and help push, push, push!

Those roles are denied in this awesome game.

What tanks provide: ORDER, this game gets very chaotic without some positioning of mobs and bosses. Who tanks help: DPS, so they can focus on doing damage and not constantly trying to support, to keep a fight alive.

What healers provide: Well, heals and buffs, obviously. Who healers help: DPS, so they can focus on doing damage and not constantly trying to support, to keep a fight alive.

Every class can stay the same really, just put good taunts and better defensive cooldowns for the warrior and guardian. Or any tanky class, necro maybe?

As for healing, I have healed/supported every MMO I have ever played and I love that role. Good MMO players carry and that’s what makes not only a good community but a good safetynet for anyone that’s new or just needs some more time to learn to be a BAMF. It’s a game, let us support our own community of players. We (tanks/healers) badly miss it. A light mage, cleric, some kind of spirit/whisp or a tree/druid , would be a good class to add for this role.

This will also make the game easier to develop. Stop looking at the disgusting void that WoW created in the MMO market. Focus on fun and community. WoW did it completely by accident and then kittened it all up.

Go back to those casual but hard roots. Easy to learn, but hard to master. If GW2 had raids and partial trinity, along with B2P and 98% of the current systems; you would have the massive audience you deserve Anet.

Just shut up, and eat your peas

NO, i don’t. If you suggest it, again, I will suggest a moderator cast “stability” on the forums, by “immobilizing” your access to them >:D

I prefer the way they are now. it’s:
Human
BIG Human
Plant
Gremlin
Cat-Bull

If they kept the original idea, it would be:
Human
BIG human
GREEN Human
Gremlin
Cat-Bull

That’s too many Human characters.

Conncept.7638:

My norn elementalist Connlaoch Stonebear, I was trying to go for an armored ‘battle mage’ look. I frequently switch the colors between steel, gunmetal, brass, bronze, and gold.

-Helmet doesn’t matter (always hidden)
-Furnace Reward Coat (SE dungeon)
-Furnace Reward Chest (SE dungeon)
-Svanir gloves (HoTW dungeon)
-Lupine Leggings (Norn t3 cultural light)
-Boots don’t matter. (always covered)

It looks cool, But, those pauldrons look like doo doo. Not on YOU, specifically. Just in general. To ME, anyway :/

Tier 3:
Helm
Gloves
Pants

Tier 2:
Chest
Boots

Tier 1:
Shoulders

The only urge you’re feeling is just left over from previous games literally forcing you to log in or fall behind in stats.

It’s really not. I came from GW1 and the only dailies it ever had were Zaishen Quests, which were added four years into the game. I had played through three campaigns and an expansion without ever needing or wanting a daily. When they were added they could only buy you a special storage bag (which could be traded) and a bunch of cosmetic stuff. Nothing like more powerful gear.

I didn’t come from a game which had dailies that force you to log in or fall behind in stats and I still feel pressure to get all my dailies done. Dailies aren’t fun, they were never intended to be. They were just intended to get people to log into the game whether it’s fun or not.

I honestly don’t think there are that many people who think gathering 20 items is fun and the ones who do would probably be doing it whether it was a daily or not. It’s bad game design, but it helps ArenaNet push one of their primary goals, increasing the daily log in metrics and enforcing a hard cap on grind progression. This is what happens when developers lose their direction and integrity and get too focused on metrics. Instead of thinking “how can we make this game more fun and foster engaging and entertaining content” they begin thinking “how can we get players to play as consistently as possible for as long as possible”. Originally ArenaNet intended to create a fun game where fun was the only motivation you needed to play it. Now they are pushing the “Daily” agenda with grind progression and calendar gating to keep their numbers as high as possible and artificially extend content, not through playability and enjoyment, but through grind and daily limitations.

You should look up integrity in the dictionary, I’m not sure it means what you think it means.

Anet is giving people who are casual a chance to get stuff too. Those so fixated on the minor stat increase will never see it as just that, a minor stat increase. It’s only a big deal in your mind.

^THIS!!….not that the people he’s talking to will agree (or understand) it. They may even post something along the lines of:

" With “Ascended Gear”, you get 8% in BLAH BLAH BLAH, which gives you a 1000 more BLAH BLEH BLARG, so it’s actually a HUGE increase"

Emosewa.9731:

Dailies are horrible. In every game. The fastest way to make a game go from fun to a job…is adding dailies. And if you add a daily that rewards a currency type that is attainable in no other way…it’s just plain kitten poor design.

Anything that forces players to feel like the MUST log in DAILY or fall behind on their quest for whatever they want is terrible. When I get home from a long day at work, finish dinner, put the kid to bed, and feel like kicking back and watching a little TV or reading a book before bed…but suddenly remember “Oh Crap, I have to log in and get my daily for that stupid Laurel”…I get overcome with a desire to punch someone. Well, ok, not overcome :-)…but seriously, who thinks this is a reasonable way to treat the player base?

I’m sorry…that came out more rant-like than I intended…but the whole idea of dailies just makes me angry.

Give 30 laurels or 40 laurels or whatever you want for the monthly and just give gold and exp and karma for the stupid dailies already. Or 7 for weeklies that can be finished in a single play session.

Dailies. Are. Poor. Design.

/rant off

TL:DR I want the things that cost “Laurels”, but, i don’t wanna work very hard to get them. I know it’s easy, but, I wanna watch TV. Please just give them to me, or, I’ll get very angry, and punch my kids, after I put them to bed. And don’t you dare tell me, that I made the decision to “need” what the laurels get me, I already KNOW that >:(

PS. I want more “gold”, “karma”, and “exp.”, too. As stated above, I may punch my kids, if I don’t get it.. This is your only warning.

[lights match, and sets thread on fire] There, now you can’t hurt anyone ANYMORE <:O [cries]

I would like to suggest, that at the end of the “living Story” event, everyone that completes all the achievements, get 1 (or maybe 2 MAX) “Fused Weapon” tickets…..that is all.

You think you’ll like it, anyway. We haven’t actually experienced it yet.

Well, it’s always great to be optimistic, it helps a lot in experiences.

Optimism leads to disappointment.

Agreed. Expect the worst, and you’ll never be let down.

Chewablesleeptablet.3185:

My ranger typically has no MF whatsoever and it still finds rares on a regular basis.

I added 22% MF with a consumable and the whole duration all I got was junk, 1 rare, and copper and a few blues. No greens at all. This was during a Fractals run and I can tell you , same difficulty level without any MF would yield much better loot.

“MF” doesn’t work the way a lot of people think it does. Everyone starts out at “100% MF”. If at 100%, an exotic has a 1% chance to drop, then, at 200%, that exotic has a 2% chance to drop. You adding 22%, made such a miniscule increase, that you wouldn’t even notice.

PinCushion.7390:

If you want to see a cosmetic cash shop done right, look at Aion. Since they went FTP they have been deluging players with clothes, vanity pets, housing furniture, and various sparklies.

The game play is still pretty bad, and no contest to GW2. But ANet could learn a few things on how to get players to happily max out their credit cards for meaningless digital shinies.

I wanted to play “Aion” again. It was pretty fun…kinda. The problem was that NCsoft didn’t bother to finish the job on the “3.0” release. The files were incomplete, and they didn’t bother to respond to the people that pointed it out.That’s a korean company for you, though. It’s sad that “A-net” is associated with them

“providing a better gear ladder”

I stopped reading, there. It’s a shame. It could have been a pretty good post, too.

If you want to get used to the game, before you choose a “main”, I’d say play as a “Warrior”. They do a lot of damage, they have tons of armor, they can handle many mobs at a time, and they have lots of health.

Pustulio.8207:

Agreed. Upgrading your “Ram”, will do wonders for your game quality. And, oddly enough, the performance gain will far outweigh the price you pay.

What kind of performance increases are we talking about? Like what kind of issues will be fixed?

Namely – will fps or ‘choppiness’ improve noticeably?

I also only have 4gb of Ram but am hesitant to get 4 more as I’ve heard claims like this in the past – but after adding more Ram I didn’t notice any difference…

It’s hard to put into simple terms, but, I’ll try. Say your computer has 4gb of “ram”, and, at all times, your computer is running 3gb worth of programs. If you we’re to buy a game, that requires 2gb to run, your computer will have to start "file swapping " to compensate for the lack of sufficient “ram”. This will slow down your system to a crawl, or worse (you will notice it a lot during loading screens).

If you upgrade to 8gb, everything can be loaded into the “ram”, at the same time. You won’t have to worry about “file swapping”. That will translate into noticeable improvements in loading speeds, choppiness, etc.

It’s a little more complex than that, but, it’s the basic idea.

Any combo, that doesn’t center itself around “Abyss” dye, is terrible
