there is one other VERY annoying bug with the Royal Ascalonian Longbow. When used with Rapid Fire, the bowstring keeps jiggling even after the skill ends…. almost like it’s possessed…

As a long term player i have a few suggestions re: the Gem Store. Now, im generally happy with the way it runs and I try and hit the sales but do beleive that a few tiny changes could really affect the way players make purchases and would help to further stimulate sales
Recyling of old skins: I have seen Several skins such as the chain-whip sword and the wings come and go several times in the last year. This content is awesome, but I strongly believe there should be a brand new skin released when an old skin is made available again. This would help stimulate sales with players who already have the skin instead of them just opting out of buying gems altogether. I tend to be an impulse buyer and don’t get gems just for BL keys.
Weapon sets: Wow! I’ts so hard to keep up with them all. How do I even collect a whole set? I even tried getting all of the Pirvateer skins, and only got 5 unlocked before they were cyled out. I liked the idea of acoount-bound version but I believe there should have been a tradeable version at the same time. Account-bound ticket requiring less BL ticket scraps or something.
Cycle more: I’d like to see the whole store look fresh for a change. Mask of Jublee, Mask of silent, shoulder scarf, the lawless skins (Maybe finish the set and/or release it as a bundle?). They all seem to have been there forever and makes the store seem stale. Instead of trading 4 items out and leaving the rest, maybe take 10 out and put more historical ones back in more often. Maybe even Cycle the outfits more?
Timing: Referring to 3-day and one-week sales. If i get excited about a skin and then it’s gone before i get paid, I miss out. If the Gem store gets these right at the beginning of the month, I have no money for it. Mid-month is best time for sales for most people because bills/rent are due at the end. eg. Amethyst Aegis. Can’t afford this until Thursday but ends Monday. Would have been able to, but it was released one week into the month instead of two. Maybe make it so the store changes happen at the end of each month, and sales are mid-month (with certain exceptions like anniversary of course).
GW1 content: Us GW1 vets loved our armors from GW1. The Monks Outfit, Gwen’s attire ect, I bought right up as soon as I saw them. I get very extited about the nostalgic stuff. What about the heavy male Kurzick Warrior armor tho? Luxon Elementalist armor? Paragon armors ect? I would buy gems in a second for some of those skins. Especially my old Necromancer Elite Luxon (male) and Kurzick (female) armors. I worked so hard to earn those skins. I’d like to see them again.
New ideas: What about new Cultural-based armor sets? You get say, a Heavy set made only for a Sylvari or a Light set made just for an Asura? It would make for less work I believe and be more affordable (micro-transactions, ya know?) average armor set is currently 800 Gems and requires the dev team to make 10 sets in total (male/female for each race.). Perhaphs the new ones, being 1/5th the work could be like 180 Gems or something. Could do like a monthy release or something, this month Charr get a new armor for sale, Next month is Human month and so on. It would freshen up the store and make it less stale. It might even allow some room for a new playable race eventually
Now these are just some ideas I’ve been hatching and I hope maybe you might even implement a few of them some day. I love this game and will continue my support for it.
P.S. When is “How to Dance vol.2” coming out? I wanna see all of Tyria doing the necromancer’s “Thriller” dance from GW1 for Mad King’s Day lol.
Armor scales with the body shape/size right? why not use those variables for scale? as for clipping with the diffrent races, thats solved easily enough by changing the base shape of the cape (eg: charr would need a cape that first comes down thier back, then flows out). If it takes alot of work, sell it in the gem store.
It can’t be that difficult compared when to Bathazars’ Regelia. It can easily be formatted to each race. The charr version even has a firey tail!
The way i see it, minor clipping happens. No 3D game is absolutley perfect and if they can do it in the original Guild Wars, it should be easy for a game that’s so much more advanced to be able to handle it. It doesn’t have to be fully featured like the old capes (changing border shape ect.) but i’d just love to have a basic one that displayes the emblem of my guild on it.
