Add stat scaling to Necromancer Minions, and give them the ability to crit. They should scale in some meaningful way from every stat with the exception of healing power and boon duration.
Reduced damage from AoE abilities will make Necromancer Minions more viable in large WvW situations, and dungeons where bosses have large AoE patterns.
Add some way to make minions break combat.
Necromancers, the summoners of the dead, do not feel fun when they summon the undead. The ability to meaningfully affect a battle is power.
I’ve spent the last week going back and forth through all sorts of different looks for a sylvari, but it always comes down to the hair styles. They are so… badly made. Every single one bar the pony tail clips inside my face and makes me look horrible. It makes me feel that my sylvari is just something to look at and never actually… move.
Is anyone else as peeved by the clipping issues as I am?
I hate him because he is an unforgiving Mary-Sue. He takes credit for events the player does, is universally loved despite being as interesting as a wet blanket, and lets not even START on that godawful VO. When your actor is talking in a neutral tone in the middle of battle, something is up. AND, HE’S INCONSISTENT! “I’ve not faught the risen much” So…. why is this guy the leader of an invasion into Orr? Because he has a Gollum-like knowledge of the back way into it? I’m just glad the people responsible for that terrible character were fired.
Here’s an analogy. I’ll use fast food because it is generally disposable income. I do not go up to the counter at McDonald’s and ask for a BOX OF RANDOM with the blind hope I get the food I want, let alone even ANY food. This is an unacceptable business practice that buggers your consumers relentlessly because there is literally no other way to acquire things we definately want. You make nice content and then hide it behind a paywall and RNG.
Anyone trying to claim it is not behind a pay-wall here’s a little small detail. Not everyone has the time to grind their backside off in CoF. I sure don’t. Converting gold into gems is not only not viable, it’s expensive. With 3 gold for 100 gems right now ( I suspect artificial inflation to promote gem purchases, but I’m a paranoid person), I would be forced to purchase gems in order to get a CHANCE at my metaphorical Big Mac. Less of this bull, Anet. Slap your marketing team, reassess your business strategies, you are buggering your consumers and angering people who actually want to like your game, please for the love of Grenth.
To add to my paranoid persona I will freely state I screen capture all of my comments related to stuff like this to avoid corporate censorship. It happens, all too frequently.
The biggest issue I have with Anet overall is a lack of communication or participation with the players. I look at MMOs like Planetside2 and wonder WHY we don’t have some guys dedicated to bantering with players. They obviously know this is broken yet STILL won’t tell us if a fix is incoming or if it is going to be another Necromancer minion situation.
I just want it’s animations to be fixed. It currently has none. I would also apreciate a fix so I can see it in my Deathshroud. However, knowing the lack of love Necromancers get overall, I do not expect this to happen, ever.
There is no “negative attitude” or “giant CENSORCENSORCENSOR” report button. How can I bring disruptive players to the attention of GMs without using extremely specific categories like spamming or verbal abuse?
Will we be seeing more and more hair colours and eye colours and even race specific decals as we move forward? I’d love holiday specific releases. (Counting on green hair for paddy’s day!)
Okay so I’m rapidly approaching the monthly deadline and I need to salvage items. Being a giant idiot that I am, I forget that February has 28 days in it and think to myself “Oh, I can wrap up tomorrow”. Tomorrow comes, and the monthly resets, leaving me feeling like kitten
My suggestion is simple: Add a 24 hour grace period to completing the monthly achievement, and a half hour grace period to completing the dailies. Most of my play time is spent between 22:00 and 01:00 so this flip can be quite stressful to deal with, and I’m sure I’m not the only one to do this.
Is it possible for him to get his serial code resent? He hasn’t logged into the game since launch, tried to get back in, and his password didn’t work. In order to get his password reset he needs to provide details which includes a serial code. If he contacts customer support and provide all his other details can he get his password reset and his serial code resent?
I’ll start caring about what the devs say when they fix Necromancers. Until then they can fix or break whatever they like. Seriously. We’ve been broken since launch. We have one viable pvp Elite skill, our main attraction as a NECROmancer (Undead Minions) Haven’t worked EVER.
I feel that the state of total lack of any regard for this issue in the past six months just means the developers do not CARE and will NEVER care to fix the problem that is so glaringly obvious to everyone else but them.
It was previously mentioned that Necromancer minion AI was getting a fix that would make it more responsive. Can we get details on this, and request instead that you give necromancer minions Ranger pet AI and similar control?
Something simple as an attack and return command on f2 and f3 would be useful.
I really hope it’s just skins that suit the classes. Sort of like early WoW and the dungeon tier gear. I’d love to see epic looking class themed skinned gear as the game progresses.
Trahearne is a poorly voice and poorly designed Mary-Sue. He has credit for things he did not do, has no character progression and yet goes from being a wandering semi-Gandalfesque character to blood thirsty general in the space of two missions.
Also his voice actor seems to have had no training in acting, nor emotional range.
I expect a host of class bug fixes (Necromancer minion fix was stated to be in testing two days ago) for the january update. And that’s really all I want right now.
My only complaint is the “dolly parton” body has a rigging issue where in certain armour types the breasts will become rigid and try to move resulting in flat jagged edges like in this pic
Female Human Necromancer
Armour is Light Armour: Invader’s Acolyte Pants
Issue is the ankle clipping in combat and when running. The issue needs no highlightning as it is just that prominent.
That is not the only reason. If you have the bug I do, you can see through the world sometimes and see the HUGE objects used to make a tiny wall. I’m talking tip of the iceberg scenarios where mountain sized rocks are used to make tiny ledges the size of an asura. It’s all the geometry your PC is processing that you don’t even see that is contributing to that fps loss in caves.
Female Norn get teleported back to the staging area randomly. I jump onto the third or fourth snowflake, get a loading screen and am back in the staging area. Please, look into this.
The auto attack will randomly miss even when in melee range and not moving. This makes the flamethrower all but useless, and incredibly annoying. Please look into it.
I can no longer preview gear that my character could not otherwise wear. I have a n engineer, I can’t preview light or heavy. This HAS to be a bug, because cultural gear and what endgame gear looks like is a huge deciding factor in what character I will play next.
The Bull’s Mantle shoulder piece clips quite badly with the left shoulder of the human tier 2 cultural piece Aristocrat’s Mantle. I have made the Aristocrat’s Coat black and the areas clipping white for easier visibility.
