All my characters are good looking but my main is of course the best looking of the lot :

Hi,

This is with Ascalonian Chestpiece, Whispers Shoulders, Asuran T3 cultural Gloves & Temple Boots and Leggings.

It’s in the works, see this interview of Colin Johanson :

http://www.zam.com/story.html?story=31615&storypage=2

“We actually do have a team that is working on building preview for the Trading Post; it’s coming along pretty well. It’s not something that will be in this month’s release, it’s probably still a ways off but that is something that they’re actively working on right now and you will see it at some point in game.”

Lofat, I enjoyed your video very much. At last not one of those zillions “I activate all my 1mn cds then go backstab an unsuspecting victim” thief pvp video.
Also i liked that you showed the whole setup of skills and traits and gear at the end.

Something i’m not sure I saw there, is the amount of +critical dmg you have in the setup you use in the video. I’m really curious about it.

Also one question please : I see you get a sigil of paralyzation on the sword, but it only adds like a small % duration over an already small duration (it’s used for the immobilize part of the infiltrator strike since not on a pistol then not to add a little to the headshot ? Sorry this is something I have a hard time to determine when looking at sigils and how they affect this or that skill).

Oh wait, another question (ha ha…) : you have the chill sigil on both pistols ? Don’t they share some kind of similar overlapping cd, so to speak, or is it to make sure it applies more (if it does work that way, that is…), or does it not share cd and thus does it add to duration ?

Thanks a lot !

:)

Unless am mistaken, the heal can be interrupted, like by a thief #4 pistol ability for example…

sostronk.8167:

Ascended items will be purchaseable with Laurels. This was in a recent announcement. When and what will be purchaseable is not known. We have no official word when more of the ascended gear will be included, saying end of January would be a sound guess.

Also, its highly unlikely you will get a dev answering this. Good luck with that though.

When : is jan-28, and what : is amulets, it’s known and it’s there :

Amulet for laurels…

ASP.8093:

There’s no indicator because they’re not an ongoing effect. Whoever is standing next to you when you dodge gets hit, and that’s it. Doesn’t work like the skill Caltrops (in fact, the animation is actually a bit wide — I recommend practicing a bit on the dummies in Heart of the Mists to get a feel for the real range of the dodge-caltrops).

I don’t get it ? You mean if I run away from a monster and dodge in front of me to put more distance between him and I then since he wasn’t next to me when I dodged then he won’t eventually run through my caltrops and be slowed ?

Hi,

I’m happy with my thief but there’s a couple things that i think don’t work well.

I play Dagger/Pistol and switch to Pistol/Dagger. I also have that trait that will stealth me when I steal.

Problem is that trait doesn’t work as it should be :

1) I steal.
2) that gets me into stealth
3) I auto unstealth right after

Why it doesn’t work the same as Cloak & Dagger is still a mystery to me…
(and no I shouldn’t have to have to shift-unclick the auto-attack and shift-reclick it after : that would be cluncky and is only a poor workaround)

The second thing is a trait I have that launches caltrops when I dodge :

1) I dodge
2) it launches caltrops in the air
3) I never get to see where they are on the ground so as to plan and fight around : no white circle on the ground

Female quote when gaining a lvl :

“Can I get any better ? Indeed I can !!!”

The tone when she says that : awesome :P !!!

I have the Rata-Sum load screen as my desktop wallpaper :P !!!

I don’t mind the great sword size or shield + mace on my guardian. Paradoxally I don’t use the hammer anymore because I would like it to be bigger for a more goofy effect on that same guardian.

I’m ok with the rifle size on my engineer but wouldn’t be against having it a tad bigger.

For my Mesmer The one-handers I have no problem with. I’m a little underwhelmed about the staff.

The real problem is on my thief : I use Pistol/Dagger and Dagger/Pistol and really think they’re much too small, especially since the skin I want to use at end-game when I’ll have exotics is the pirate pistol (the one from the hidden zombie pirate karma vendor in L.A.) => amazing looking pistol skin but so ridiculously small…

Another problem I have with medium armor user, especially the thief, is not only his daggers and pistols are too small, but on top of that they hide in the chestpiece because they clip inside it…

A new “little” problem : when replacing a Shortbow by the Slingshot skin, (haven’t done it yet but it’s how it shows in the preview window) : the slingshot is like hovering 10 inches (so to speak) from the back of the character.

Don’t get me wrong I absolutely love the game and Asura is my favorite race (4/5 of my characters are) it just is I feel I want my Asuras to look perfect and those are the only thing that I would like to see change and adressed, the rest is really perfect !

<3

I have 4 Asuras and 1 Norn.
My Asuras are Thief 80 and Mesmer, Engineer and Guardian (last 3 around lvl 30).

Engineer fits the Asura theme very well and is a very fun class to play, with all the gizmos and such. I’m not good at it though I must admit, but I always have fun playing it.

Mesmer is a difficult class to play but rewarding when you master it (not that I do though, same as engineer), but again when I play mine I have fun.

Guardian is tough cookie and easy to play and stay alive (at least for me).

Maybe it depends on the gender you plan to play ? That could help your decision perhaps ?
If you want to play a cute-bunny female stereotype with pink and purple themed colour you should try a Mesmer : the particle effects and shinies go well with that.
If you’d rather play a boyish mischievous gadget using geek-like machine of death (from below) you should try Engineer.

And yes, I too have considered that when I buy next slot I may well play a second thief with a totally different build and weapon loadout. (My Asura one is D/P & P/D and I plan on creating a D/D & SB one later).

In the end I’d say that if you want to play something with a different playstyle and gameplay than the ones you currently play then I’d suggest either Engineer or Mesmer.

I envy you for one thing : you’re going to discover the Asura story and are going to fall in love with the Asuras animations and voice quotes !

:)

HA HA HA !!!

I’m a Rogue-Agent =P !!!

I liked it !

Very nice editing on the part with the manga footage at the beginning, it was really fitting and surprisingly (I don’t like manga much) I found it was very very well placed and added a lot to the theme of your video.

Thanks for making this video !

The problem isn’t so much the difficulty depending on the level, the problems are what seem to be bugs (we need confirmations from Anet to know if those are bugs or an intended way to complete this achievement) :

Resetting the achievement not only due to a death but also because of :

• Changing zone.
• Swapping character.
• Getting disconnected.
• And some more…

Basically meaning you have to do it in one sitting, hoping that you won’t get disconnected, be it by the game or your ISP, and in the very same zone, not even risking using some waypoints.

Maybe easy at 80 but very unhealthy (IRL) in the earlier levels. This is why I believe those are bugs and unintended.

• Checkbox to only show what’s in the bag for crafting discoveries : I know it is how it works currently ! But since the crafting discoveries are planned to work in the future exactly like regular crafting (include what’s in the bank) and since you’re working on it currently, this is why I’d like you to consider adding this checkbox so as to only see what’s in the bag and not what’s in the bank for discoveries. This way, people could choose to see everything (unchecked) or just what’s in their bag (checked). This is for those who’d rather plan a crafting session with only these or those mats and not accidentely use mats they didn’t plan to.

• Reset the monthly survivor XP bar after a death : And please do check if it’s intended that zoning, loging out to swap characters, count as a death. Indeed for now it is rather difficult to track this achievement and it is a bit frustrating to see it stop progressing because you just changed zones.

• Checkbox in the Hero tab to automatically switch to town cloth : when entering a town of course.

• Have the weapon previews be unsheated : On Asuras wearing long coats I don’t see how a dagger or a pistol looks like most of the time !

• Allow previews from the Trading Post : I’m sure I’m not the first to ask this ha ha…

• Please bring back the Hi-Res screenshot option we had in the Beta : Please oh please, pretty please, this was such an amazing option since it was a huuuuge image that recalculated your shot and would allow cropping around your character to see all the amazing details on armors and textures.

• Re-tweak the daily quest reward just a little : Sometimes I get a mystic coin and some cash-shop boost (bank access, TP access, etc…), sometimes I get a mystic coin and nothing : it is a little disapointing. I’d rather have a bit less of the cash-shop items when I receive them and a little something to replace the “nothing” entry on your daily quest loot table. Just a random blue item or a stack of 5 carrots, or 5 ore, just a little something would make it perfect to wait for the anticipation of the additional reward on top of the mystic coin.

• Include a real guild roster : showing all the toons in the guild, not only the ones connected and more importantly not only based on showing one toon per account. The first tab when opening the guild window is fine by showing who is online and on what toon he’s on, but the roster tab should list all the different toons so we can look at all the classes available and also all the craft skills available to the guild.

• Have the hide/unhide option for helm and shoulder carry on to the character selection screen : I know it’s really minor, but this is only a suggestion !

• Hide the bit of ground masking the shoes on the character selection screen when using crtl-shift-H : Some people really like to show their characters in all their glory !

Thank you !!!

Thanks a lot to everyone in the team, you all really can be very proud of what you have delivered to us !

Hi,

We’re a small guild of 5 casual players. The lvl range of our characters is for now from 2 to 20, with I’d say an average of lvl 12 or so.

So far we already spent 500 influence to get Economy I and we’re getting close to have 500 points to spend again.

I would like tips and also know about mistakes to avoid on choosing the very first upgrades.

I’ve read on another forum that it was a good thing to go the guild worshop route early so as to be able to queue 2 upgrades at once. That said, are we big enough to take advantage of this ?

Also it seems to me we’d better wait for Economy III to be able to later buy 500 pts full weekend Magic find bonus, instead of 30 minutes for 50 points here and there. Thus we’d have to coordinate ourselves and choose a weekend where everyone is on.
Also would you advise if we do that to have each guildies save pennies beforehand and buy Magic find food to focus on that for that weekend ?

As for the Politic upgrade, I’ve read that each armor piece would be 1g to have an emblem on, so am I right to think we’d better wait on that one that our average lvl is about 40 or so before going that route ?

Last question : in case we instead choose to use some 30 minutes banners once in a while, how does this work after you have queued it ? Where does the banner appear ? Is it in your bag ? In who’s bag ? Is it a consumable ?

Thanks a lot !

:)
