Is there original advertisement and my memory says it was never changed. Plus your quote is word for word on guru so chances are you read guru and mixed the 2 up.

Edit: Whoops fixed my link now
Edit2: Also I said before I’m pretty sure it’s not by the developers, just because I never go to guru, and there is always that slim chance it could be. Honestly though, I would place all my gold in a bet that is just a community page and the post is just a friendly person doing a PSA to wait off on character because you never know.

Agree. Technically it is free to travel there going through pvp/wvw portals, through the lions arch portals, into the main cities….but that’s a lot of loading screens to go through. It would be nice if they could just cut out the middle man and have a portal straight to your home instance.

Personally I like the way the LFG tool is and I don’t think it needs separate categories. Even if they did there will still be people who click on the wrong one and join your group anyway. More or less I just think people need to type what they want better/right to the point. There really is no need to type lf3m or lfg since everyone can see how many are there and can see what professions. After awhile people will stop using the shorthands like lfm, at least I hope anyway. That way people can just see/type Story or Exp Any Path, Path 2 Speed run, ect. Once people stop saying unneeded information like lf3m it will be less likely for the description to get cut off.

Just saying I am kind of glad that the armor is semi on the ugly side, depending on taste. Think about it for a minute if the armor has the best stats AND the best looking everyone would be going for it and we would have a ton of clones everywhere. So since they are semi distasteful people are still encouraged to go for other armor sets. Or maybe I am alone in thinking like that…

I’m going to edit my first post and keep a record of all the items for sale this month. Why? because it’s nice to see what items have already been on sale in case people miss days.

Pictures are provided by StinVec.3621

Thread about gold to gem throughout the month in case anyone was interested in that information

During boss fights such as Teq typically people don’t revive someone who is dead they only revive the downed. So it would be nice to be able to quickly distinguish if the group of people is dead or downed.

The mini map does show 2 different symbols for downed and dead, but on the field we just see the one symbol over the bodies. If instead we see the blue skull over the dead people or maybe just have the revive symbol a different color if you are dead I think it would be very helpful.

On a side note I also wish the mini map in PvE was more detailed/clear when you zoom out 2x like in WvW.

Hannelore.8153:

Soulbound to Account Bound already exists.
1) Take a soulbound item , like a Legendary.
2) Fuse it to white quality item. It will become Account Bound.
3) Move it to another character via your bank
4) Use Transmutation splitter to get the original item back. It will still be Soulbound, but it will be Soulbound to your new character instead.

The OP wanted soulbound -> not bound, to sell his stuff.

I was happy with soulbound -> account bound. But since you can’t transmute trinkets this trick does nothing to help people transfer their ascended rings/amulets…

I also think this isn’t really the purpose of a transmutation splitter, and furthermore 800 gems per item can really stack up…

It would be so innovative to see all soulbound items just being changed to account bound… ANet took the first step with the harvesting tools, now’s the time to remove soulbound from the game entirely.

First off I don’t agree to the Soulbound → no bound. I agree with the possibly of Soulbound → Accountbound though.

Secondly I think the main reason they added the splitter in the first place was for all the people who transmute muted their Legendaries to other weapons due, do not liking the PVT stats or for swapping to an alt. So when they changed how the stats for Legendaries worked they needed something to compensate/fix it for those people. Hense why the stone was released at the same time if I remember right. I also heard a rumor how if you had a legendary prior to the change you got a free splitter, so that just even more so leads me to believe that’s why they created it.

Lastly I do agree with the fact that soulbound is more annoying then anything and it should just be changed to account bound across the game, however I doubt that would be free. So they should just create a Transmute _w/e_ in the gem store for 300gems (cost of a splitter) to change items from soulbound to account bound. Seeing as how we can already with a hassle, if you know the trick. Plus the splitter can still be used for things like keeping skins so it won’t make the splitter useless. Whether Anet foresaw this possibility as an exploit or not it’s in the game now, why not make it official with it’s own gem item.

Agree more would be nice. We could even have to pay to unlock the Set 2 emblems with merits and influence.

That would be nice. I remember one of my guildmates actually ran through and did all of his jps because he saw a bunch of people with the title “Distinction in Applied Jumping” and he assumed you got it from doing all the jps. Unfortunately he realized it was for SAB a week late and had to wait til it came out again to get his title.

Your idea about consuming the Map of exploration is a good idea imo.

Tons of people have asked many time for ways around having to map explore their alts after they got their first 100%. The fact that the Gift is the consumable basically means they did explore at least one. There punishment (-one Gift) seems like a fair cost since they are being “helped” with their exploration towards 2 more Gifts.

I also like the idea that you suggested it only reveals 1/3 of the waypoints not all of them. Granted I would say 1/2 would be fair seeing as how you get 2 gifts every 100% so using one would give you the first ~250 wps and using a second will unlock the next ~250 wps. The waypoints would be of corse in a list/order by the level of the area/map.

Overall it seems like a reasonable solution that doesn’t involve adding a completely new system for those “lazy” people who don’t want to map explore with their alts. So kudos to the one who thought of the idea best one I’ve seen yet on the matter using the Gifts like that.

One last note on the matter, I personally wouldn’t use it just because I enjoy map exploring. However for those that don’t wish to explore on every character this would be a viable way for them to get those key wps they want without the hassle of running though all the maps a second time, and I don’t feel cheated in the slightest since I choose not to go that route.

Necrid.2705:

@OP, the choices does matter for humans as it decerns what types of story mission you have available to you. But good idea!

It’s not just humans each race has 3 different biography choices. 1 chooses the first part of your personal story

• Asura: College of Statics/Dynamics/Synergetics
• Charr: Blood/Ash/Iron Legion
• Human: Commoner/Nobility/Street Rat
• Norn: Defeat Our Ancient Foes/Potect the Spirits/Guard the Mists
• Sylvari: Dream White Stag/Green Knight/Shield of the Moon

Another determines the second part of your personal story

• Asura: First creation VAL-A Golem/Transatmospheric Converter/Infinity Ball
• Charr: Loyal Soldier/Sorcerous Shaman, Honorless Gladium
• Human: Reget Unknown Parents/Dead Sister/Missed Opportunity
• Norn: At the moot you Blacked Out/Revenge(got in a fight)/Lost an Heirloom
• Sylvari: Ventari’s Teaching Act with wisdom, but act/All things have the right to grow/Where life goes, so too, should you

Typically the 3rd race based choice changes nothing and is purely for dialog with slight exceptions.

• Asura: Adviser choice does nothing
• Charr: Sparring Partner with chooses the npc that is on the missions with you
• Human: God you were blessed by changes dialogue
• Norn: Spirit of the Wild changes were an npc in your home instance is
• Sylvari: Cycle you awoke in changes some dialogue with certain characters

Donari.5237:

Yes, humans could be The Rat/Solid/Gracious, or some such. Maybe Street Fighter/Citizen/Lord/Lady? Many many possibilities.

Now, titles are account wide. I guess people would be on their honor to only use them as appropriate I know you said character specific, I dunno how easily they could code that.

Exactly I can picture it now Humans running around with titles saying they are in the Blood Legion. But then again we do have those titles for pvp that are class based, not sure if they are bound to class or not, if they are bound to class then the code is already in the game.

Flint.2941:

Old thread… but with the new login screen it lists crafts that I started on characters but completed on another. If the display included the level of craft they were at that would be great. Or otherwise I’d like to remove my level 2 tailor craft so I could remember which toon really has it.

^

Back in the day people used crafting to level their new characters. As a result I have a few characters with all the crafting partially leveled.

My personal thoughts:
-Option to remove the crafting icons from login screen
-Only show the crafting on login when it is at max level
-Move that information to the left with the character text
-Ability similar to changing crafting but instead “disables/pauses” so it doesn’t show up

Ya, I also realize it’s not that important and it’s my OCD. But it feels so cluttered when I roll over my characters and see the list of crafting that character has.

aspirine.6852:

I get multiple a day. All from the same blabla bank with a special surprise. I hope they do not use hacked accounts because all of them go on report to be banned.

Considering all the whispers I get are from fnjwenfj or abfawfo I doubt they are hacked accounts and if they are…well they should’ve actually named themselves if they didn’t want us thinking they were bots.

I feel your pain. A month ago I sent out mail to all my guild members saying if they don’t reply back to be before 2014 they will be removed, and it took forever with that mail suppression.

Personally, I find the system pointless since it doesn’t really stop a gold seller. Assuming most are just bots sending out the message all they need is a little extra code telling it to wait a minute every few mails.

My thoughts is that they remove the suppression for sending mail to guildmates (not people on friend list). Or if that is too difficult to filter for how about a guild upgrade that allows for one mass mail message to everyone in the guild, build time for the item can be 3 days and you can’t speed up the process, in order to prevent guilds from spamming it.

Ellisande.5218:

It’s a lot easier to not hate Trahearne as a Sylvari because he actually makes a lot of appearances in the early Sylvari story quests. So when he suddenly shows up on Claw Island you aren’t meeting a new character but greeting an old friend.

SPOILERS IN THIS POST
^This exactly! I do like Trahearne, but then again Sylvari was my first. So my personaly story went from meeting my Destiny’s Edge member Caithe, to me meeting Trahearne from the start and was told how his hunt lines with/is simlar in nature to mine (to me it hinted/foreshadowed/I assumed that we are going to be killing stuff later together). SO you know more stuff happens you meet your order mentor, you see your buddy Trahearne again, your mentor sacrifices themself, and you party up with Trahearne and he make you his right hand man. Which basically fits in all nice and flow together, for the Sylvari.

In fact I even remember reporting it as a bug in the text for Claw Island how they are reintroducing me to Trahearne and attacking like I never meet him before. Little to my knowledge then, that it is just set up that way for the other races. So from the other races perspectives he really is a nobody that is trying to take your mentors place after Claw Island and the stories don’t flow together at all. Their story go from Destiny edge member, to mentor, to Trahearne which just seems like you are being thrown around not progressing. Not to mention the fact that you just meet him and he is willing to make you (a stranger) his right hand man doesn’t exactly make sense.

For all those who hate the golems, I justify it to the fact that he didn’t fight much before Claw Island so he didn’t have the power/experience to summon all of them then. But since he started leading everyone he gained experience/“skill points” and unlocked it for himself. But that’s just what I say to myself to justify it.

So overall I like Trahearne, but playing my personal again on other races I see why there is no love for him and I myself might not like him as much if I started as a different race. Since you are basically being pushed into being his lacky right after your mentor dies. While from a Sylvari point of view you “decide” to help out an old friend with the same goals to honor the memory of your mutual friend.

Agree it does look weird sometimes with some skins and armors. That’s the main reason I never run with my dual Jade Axes stowed. I just fire an attack at the air and run with them out, but if they have them stowed on my back I might consider just leaving them stowed if they look nice.

Mount Maelstrom – The Stychs

If anyone wants to map them it could be interesting.

Mel.8769:

Neural.1824:

Mel.8769:

I have wondered this many times. Especially when opening Zhaitaffy.

Doesn’t Zhaitaffy make you hurl if you eat too much? That could very well be quite funny.

Indeed it does. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2aeYFAyXVk

An “open all” or “consume all” option would be good for opening all the Halloween bags and candy corn.

Oh and the jewelry boxes in orr. I buy a ton of those and my poor little finger gets tired of opening them. Then once they are open, there is all that karma to click through.

YES!!! I usually go buy jewelry boxes when i hit 1mil karma, between buying them all opening them and consuming the karma drops in them it’s such a pain. Not to mention wash rinse and repeat with my newly gained karma.

My top five six in no particular order:

1. Ability to mystic forge/upgrade 250 Transmute Stones to 8-20 Transmute Crystals
The input of 250 and out put of 8-20 shouldn’t really effect gem store purchases of the crystals, plus those numbers can always be tweaked.

2. Addition of the Clock Tower and Wintersday jp achievements to the jp category
Doesn’t even need to reward achv pts, just there to document if you did it before since they will be reoccurring.

3. Anet going back through all the armors giving them more dye slots
Since not every armor has 4 dye options and it could really add to customization.

4. New inventory option for Minis for on or off
Similar to the check boxes for show/hide bags & rarity except this option would make it so your mini would always be there. You die it lays down dead, you wp or travel it is still there, you swim it’s gets put into an air bubble. If you have multiple minis in your bag then it chooses the first one.

5. More titles for existing achievements/more unique titles
Search for title threads there have been a few good ones. Such as, more unique titles for pvp no champion xxx, biography based titles for what you choose in creation, titles for slayer achievements, also title for each dungeon completion, 100% jps. It’s fairly cheap content since the system is already in place.

6. One update patch focusing on Guild improvements
Adding a 6th to my list because well I can. Improvements include last log in, event calendar, and ability to set access for Deep Cave separate from Treasure Trove.

For your ombre idea it might just be easier for them to create a couple new hair styles that use the accessory color as the second hair color. They could also do the same thing with highlights.

Overall yes I think there should be more hair color options out there so I can use my hairstyle kits.

Ya but the reason they can pop out so much backpieces for us is because it is not dyeable. So personally I would rather have more backpack pieces then for them to change the system to make it dyeable and get less.

Regardless +1 for Angel wings. We have the holo, shatt, and teq wings, so next should be a more angelic type of wings

I had one of my characters do Retribution post patch. The 3 orders meet together for first time at Claw Island to see about forging a pack and they end up taking down a the Plaguebringer.

I thought the destruction in the background was awesome while the meeting was taking place, before going to Claw Island. What I found hilarious though was how after you kill the Plaguebringer everyone is saying how Lion’s Arch is no longer in danger, I just about died laughing.

Meglobob.8620:

I like how it was advertised as a March ‘sale’, implying every item would have some kind of discount, when quite a lot of ‘sale’ items were normal price. In the real world advertising standards agency would give them a heavy fine for false advertising, at least in my country. Everything, should have had a minium of 5% discount…

That’s the link for their initial advertisement

“Each day in March we’re running special promotions in the Gem Store! You’ll get 31 chances to save big on different Gem Store items or pick up a popular item from the past!”

Sale: /s?l/

1. The exchange of a commodity for money; the action of selling something.
2. An event for the rapid disposal of goods at reduced prices for a period, esp. at the end of a season.

I don’t find it false adverting. Technically one of the definitions of a sale is the act of selling a product/service. A sale doesn’t have to be discounted by definition. Regardless of that, Anet never said that the past items were going to discounted as well.

Just because some people don’t rush to do the ls achievements does not make them procrastinators. Personally I don’t find rushing/grinding the very first day to get all the achievements done very fun. I like knowing when the achievements go away and plan out how much I should do each day, that way I don’t feel like I rushed the new content and enjoyed it more since I didn’t bother grinding for the achievements I earned them more naturally.

Adding a timer or event ends date in the UI would be helpful to many people. Yes you can find the dates in the patch notes, but not everyone reads the patch notes. There will always be people who don’t read the patch notes and spam lions arch or forums or guides online about when the content is leaving. Having the date be in game at your fingers tips will drop the amount of people asking in the long run. Sure they will probably still ask for the next couple ls content, but after reading everyone say “ends xx its in the achievement panel” they will get the idea it’s always going to be there. Then we just have the brain deads and the newbies who will ask.

Overall there is no reason why there shouldn’t be a feature like a timer or day ending countdown for the living story. If they are going to continue to put out living story content then it seems like it is a must have quality of life improvement.

In all honesty I really don’t care if the Golem does absolutely nothing in the water but swim and get hit by things. It’s just having to wait for the cooldown after going in the water for a second is such a pain.

LoreChief.8391:

Asura don’t wear skirts. Skirts are designed for the fashionable feature of attracting a lover, in places where potential lovers are into that kind of thing; “Showing skin”. Asura do not attract lovers with skin, as it is neither functional, nor efficient. They attract each other with intelligent designs and brilliantly functional fashions.

Just saying have you seen the light armor for Asura they have skirts on, or at least skirt like outfits. Sure there is pants under the skirts, but they are wearing skirts. So your point that Asuras don’t wear skirts, isn’t true.

LoreChief.8391:

Human females may show off their thighs in an attempt at attracting the attention of potential mates, because in human culture = physical beauty/appearance is the desired trait. In Asuran society, both Asuran males and females will attract mates by being scientifically creative, inventive, and possessing of mental qualities that are capable of sustaining a professional/philosophical partnership.

I do agree with you how lore-wise they shouldn’t show skin. On another note the fact that they do have child-like body structures (short, no boobs) it does kind of blur the line as to how far can they/should they take it. Because of that is why I wouldn’t want the exact same human female skins redone to the Asura.

That being said I don’t see a reason why there can’t be a distinction in clothes whether you are male or female. Obviously they are not “identical” to each other since they have gender based hairstyles. So I say what’s wrong with female asuras having armor the same as female humans but slightly modified. For example…

• Phoenix: Add pants under the feather skirt and maybe make it a tank top instead of the tube top.
• Magitech: Have part over the belt corset solid/no boob emphasis and add leggins/tights to hide the skin of the thigh
• Braham: (First off slightly silly since female is showing half their chest with the male version) The top can not have straps highlighting the boobs and be turned into a tank top instead of a tube tope and again add pants/tights under the skirt to hide the skin.

Really the main things on all the armors they would have to change is adding tights/pants under the skirts that are a bit too much, removing all straps/lines/stitching that emphasizes boobs, and possibly elongating tops to cover more of the belly.

Overall that would make many female Asura happy and wouldn’t be too far out of reach or over the line. Same goes for Charr for that matter, but they have their own issues when it comes to armor.

Personally I like all 3 of the female faces. Reasons….

1. is a nice “human” face that is different from the previous “human” face. Since the old one have vines/markings going out from the nose in all directions and was symmetrical, the new one is going out to the forehead and has a nice asymmetrical touch to it.
2. I just find adorable, but that’s my opinion. It just looks nice and plantly and is like a chibi. If the eye size bothers you though you can always make them smaller. The no nose part well why does a plant need a nose anyway?!? Again I love the asymmetrical look of the pine cones and the face that it goes high up to the forehead, since a lot of hairstyles make sylvari look blading.
3. Another pretty face with an asymmetrical twist. I like how the bark/vines on the chin isn’t as noticeable as old the pretty faces, I just never liked having lines down the center of the lips and chin this is nice though. Lastly the dark “eyelash/liner” looks amazingly done.

Now for the males…

1. I like how they decided to make a male version on the chibi pinecone face. Afterall if there is going to be an odd ball out-there look it should be available for both genders.
2. I would love this face so much more if it had a nose. I know I just said why do plants need noses, but still it seems like something is missing on this one. The cracked look of wood as scars looks sooo bada**
3. Eyes look different that’s for sure, I could probably tweak it to get it more to my liking/style so no big deal. The knot on the bread was done very nicely and is a great addition. Plus it is a nice basic “human” face for the males which they didn’t have before.

Overall I love all the new female faces and I’m going to probably switch one of my sylvari to a new face and use the others down the road when I create more alts. I’m a female and I don’t play male characters, so I won’t be using any of the new male faces, but I love the new variety they are adding. Keep up the good work =D

I feel like we should make a new/current poll thread once the new faces go live. It would interesting to see an updated poll =D

edit it is live just checked here are the 3 new fgaces (pink female/blue male)
the 4th female is just the pine cone face again with the pine cone hair. it blends quite nicely

PS I LOVE the new faces we got!!!!! The pinecone face is so cute imo without the nose lol. Also love the fact that they are asymmetrical. Wonderful job.

Personally I think the classes they have now is enough and they should just expand on them to make them more awesome. But if they do add another class I would want it to be another heavy. Since we have 3 light, 3 medium, and only 2 heavy it would balance it more.

Just imagine a Quaggan wearing a Quaggan backpack. You will die from all the cuteness or die from the brain damage do to your thudding, lol.

Originally it was planned to get dye through dye seeds in your home instance once every 24hrs. So since it took that long to gather dye they planned it to be account bound. When they made the switch to how it is now they changed it to soulbound.

I do agree, it really does sucks for those with alts. I, myself have 8 characters (for each profession) and it is annoying not having all the dyes I have on some of my other characters when I switch them around. So I am all for buying a 800gem item to have all unlocked dyes shared.

However since they do make money off of the new dyes in the gem store Frost & Flame, Venom, Toxic that those special one can remain soulbound so that this new item doesn’t affect the sales of the new dyes.

I use all my karma on the Orrian Jewelry Boxes, since I get Obsidian Shards and lodestone from it. Not to mention when I dump 1mil karma (and repeat because of the karma consumables) I tend to get a few gold selling the junk item. I wish there was a fast consume/consume all for it though.

Sunscreen.7046:

i’d rather not create all new race that as generic as dark elves. let’s focus on bringing in actuall races that people are anticipaing, like, hmmm i dont know …. TENGU.

Assume the new race would be a Tengu and assuming on top of that they will have armor skins similar/the same as the Charr in shape/reskin since they have similar body builds, I hope they wait a long time before releasing. They really need to do something about how horrible the Charr look in armor with the stretching, clipping, and tail issues (not to mention that aesthetically lots of people don’t like the Char in anything unless its heavy). Those problems should be addressed before they make a new character use the same type of armor, otherwise we will have the same thing on the newly released playable which to me would be wasted effort.

I hope that eventually they make it so you can join your friends in mini games =/

Someone suggested this a while back in one of the mini threads….

Mini’s without swim animations be put into a air bubble when swimming.

Agreed!! The game has tons of “sexy” female armor we need some more exposed armor for the males. I know tons of people have been asking for a toggle on/off for the tops of males since they want to be all manly and go armorless. Having more revealing armors for males would be nice.

+1 There was another thread a while back that suggested something similar, but didn’t get much reply.

My idea/suggestion would be, that the guild chat you are repping would remain the gold color and the non repping could be a more orange color/other color not currently being used. The guild chats will also have the guild tag before each message, so it would look like this (except one of the guilds would be the gold color instead of bold)

Name [XX] How is everyone doing today?
Person [XX] Doing good how about yourself?
Guy [abc] Dude, what are you doing we have to go over here first
Dude [abc] oo ok then
Name [XX] Doing fine just trying to finish up my daily
Guy [abc] next we have to go over here
Girl [lol] I’m off for the night later
Friend [lol] see ya
Player [lol] bye
Dude [abc] so do we need to grab these?
Guy [abc] we only need one of them
Boy [lol] night

Parameters would be only being able to talk in the current repping guild, that way it remains simple and they don’t need to add more /commands for talking in each guild at the same time. Also having the option to filter repping guild from non repping guilds from the chat menu, so that ppl who are in those huge guilds don’t have to see the wall of text going on in the guild chat if they don’t want to. Since it can seem confusing like in my example sorting out all the guilds.

Preferably I would want to be able to filter each guild itself, but I could live with just having all the non rep guild bunched together, since that would probably be easier to implement. I would have my normal chat just show my repping guild and have a tab for my non repping guilds. With the flash on unread feature I could see when my other guilds is talking which is what I would like.

Agreed been posted time and time again. The choice of attire for medium class is basically do you want your basic trench coat, a trench coat with buckles, a trench coat with frayed edges, or let me see we have another trench coat here in the back that’s leafy. Granted there are a few as in 1-3 that aren’t trench coats.

It just really is discouraging trying to skin a medium class since essentially they all look the same. I get why medium is all trench coats they can be fitting for a ranger, engineer, and even a thief if you picture the whole tv show spy hiding in public in a trench coat and sunglasses. But let’s face it who want their Ranger, Their, and Engineer to all look the same.

urg I lost what I type up…so short version

Yes, So getting burnt out. Why? the direction the LS is going focus on zerg events all the time and ties achv to them. Which is a bad idea. example:

• Teq: content awesome and great but the follow up stinks. No server really runs Teq anymore, besudes maybe once on the weekend or TTS
• Clockwork: Invasions was awesome just because they were profitable and worth it to farm. Unfortunately it kill the Pavilion, why would you give us 2 big pve farmable things at the same time, the zerg will always go for the most profitable
• Tower of Nightmare: after the first 5 days no one runs the events in Kessex Hills, and unless you have helpful guild mates have fun finding a party to help you kill the Krait witches.
• Nightmare Within: you NEED the zerg for the achvs, since you cant solo your way past the champs and to the top since you HAVE to defeat them. again the zergs stop running this after the first couple days since it’s not worth farming
• Blood and Madness: zerg was required for killing those champs in the maze. but it wasnt worth farming in the maze for the zerg stopped after 1 week. so goo luck to those that want to farm the candy corn or to those that didn’t get on the first week.

I’m not saying zerging is bad but if keep adding zerg activity to the LS they need to either not tie them to advancing/achievements or make them worth it to farm so it doesn’t go dead after the first couple days. As it stands now if we want to do the LS content then we are “forced” to rush it, since it is dependent on zergs.

Dawdler.8521:

Hahaha you guys…

Either Anet accidentally forgot to disable placeholder graphics or they are trolling us.

Original flamekissed was removed because it was just an existing skin that was reskinned, now they release the “new” flamekissed with is just an existing skin that’s been reskinned?

Anet must be laughing their kitten s off.

No it was replaced because it was a reskin of cultural armor.
We are aware that the “new” one is also a reskin.

Ashabhi.1365:

I have seen some truly tasteless pet names, and wish there were a report button for them as well, but in general, naming things tasteless names are in the eye of the beholder.

Having said that, there are deliberate references to things that definitely should be “kittened” out.

I think it would be a good idea to throw the “kitten filter” into the game, and then any obscene or offensive names would show up as “kitten” in the game too.

In fact, I think it would be kind of funny if all of a sudden these names and pet names changed from (insert offensive word here) to Kitten. It wouldn’t cost the players anything, because pet names can be changed on the fly without cost.

Not only that, if someone didn’t have the forethought or thought it would be cute to name their character something offensive would have to buy a name-change ticket. Now, before anyone says “that’s not fair,” keep in mind that the original name was chosen by the player, so if it’s offensive enough to get “kittened” then it’s their own fault.

just sayin’

Only if I can filter to see kitten or not, would I be ok with a kitten filter in the game. I would so not want to see people/pets/other named kitten everywhere.

There isn’t a way to report someone for that and nor sure there be. It sucks I know but there are real reasons for people to go afk during events/tournaments. I believe/heard people tend report pvp afkers as scammers not bots since they are “scamming” free glory and rank points by just standing there.
In all honestly though the person in your case isn’t breaking any rules in need of reporting. He just isn’t a good team player.

There has been at least one other thread that I know of that talked about this. I for one completely agree. I have bought a couple sets and on one of the them I only use the pants and shoes and another set I only used the top, so I have a bunch of skins in my bank that I basically have no use for. Why do I keep them in my bank you might ask well I paid for the full set and I’m not one to just toss away the rest since I did pay 800gems for them.

The prices of the pieces could even be 300 gems a piece. That way if someone just wants one piece they can just get that one piece, and those that want all of it will get a full set deal of 800 gems. Although considering the gloves and shoulders out now are 400 gems they probably will have it be 350-400gems a piece.

Over the coarse of this Lunar New Year I have been in a few games where a team became ungodly zerg-like. Pretty much everyone dies in a matter of 5 seconds after spawning once that happens. One game in particular I was so frustrated because I spent the whole game just trying to get out of home, no matter which way I went I pretty much died the second I touch the field or less, a few times I died midair. I even just stood there to idle me out a couple times and died instantly. Most frustrating game ever!

Lucky for me though I got Dragon Glaze done in the first 2 days before every game was a zerg. I feel bad for anyone still trying to get that now. As of today finished Dragon Heart so I am done for the year with that mini game.

Overall it was fun the first 2 days after that nope. It’s a hit or miss with minigames and this one just isn’t my cup of tea. I do wish the volunteer would give you the win though…

For everyone who talks about the neutral being toggle on and off and zerks using it to take over places, obvious if they ever add something like this it wouldn’t be a toggle on and off thing just for that fact. I do wish there was a white flag option for the jumping puzzles though going through the first part of the of the EB puzzle and getting killed in the cages really sucks along with sneaking my way past all enemies in their Borderlands just to be killed at the entrance of the puzzle also sucks. Besides getting a couple of blueprints doing the puzzle does nothing for WvW and I hate how people choose to camp there killing people. I would just like for there to be a white flag option at the entrance to the jumping puzzles like a buff that will add a white flag to your back like a backpack of sorts when you enter the jp zone/area. It can be optional though choose to pick it up or not. If you pick it up you can’t get rid of it until you leave the area and you don’t get the blueprints if you have it.

My mini map setting is normally zoomed out 2x (I believe it’s 2) and the jump in the mini maps appearance is huge. You go from seeing the outlines of the cliffs, paths, and other things clearly to paint smears.

While I understand why the father out you zoom the less clear it should get but at zoomed out 2 the mini map is still pretty close/zoomed in. The range of the zoomed out 2 is just a tad father then the gathering node visual range. Which imo should mean if you are close enough to see all the gathering on the map then you are close enough to have a nice map and see the terrain. When you zoom out after that is when you should have to see the paint smears instead.

Why should they change this, well because visually it’s more appealing. Second is because running around with the paint smear mini map there has been times where I ran into a dead end because that one smear is suppose to be a wall or I run to the bottom of a cliff edge because I thought the smear was a hill not a cliff. Sure over time I figure out the maps, but still the functionality of the smear map compared to the detailed is lacking.

I like this idea. Personally I tend to run around with magic find food normally and swap out to health gain or power boost food when entering world boss events/dungeon/WvW battles, so having a quick access bar for consumables would be nice. I also see this being beneficial for people who use consumables for Teq fights.

Agreed this would be so helpful
