I bet they’re saving those old traits for the engi specialization, and that seems cheap. Taking away old traits to put into a new specialization that we have to pay to use.
That would be very unfortunate. The sad thing is, I’d probably pay it. It’s either that or not play the class at all. Tried playing my engi some more today… I can’t tell you how many times my muscle memory kept trying to deploy my turrets, even though I knew I couldn’t. This bites so hard!
The thing I find unsettling about this, is that I’ve practiced hard over the past several years to become adept at strategically deploying my turrets while on the run. Perfecting the art of turret placement while in the heat of battle was particularly exhilarating for me. I have to admit I got really good at it, and for me, it’s what made my engi fun to play. Now it’s gone for no good reason. Years of perfecting a difficult playstyle… wasted. I just don’t get it. Anet, can please tell me your reasoning behind this?
I hardly EVER post to forums. This is one of those rare exceptions for me. Deployable Turrets were a HUGE part of my playstyle. I can’t overstate that enough. Anet… please tell me this was an oversight and that they will return… PLEASE?
Exactly the answer I was looking for. Thanks… You rock!
I understand that. I’ve done the same thing you’ve done numerous times. But that’s not what I’m asking. I’m not talking about the way it works when you delete a character… but rather, whether or not the same rules apply if you utilize a Name Change Contract. Is the previous name still locked to your account (for 24 hours) just as it would be if you deleted the character?
No one seems to know this with complete certainty. It appears I need to open a ticket… which is fine.
I do indeed have an empty slot ready to go, and would immediately attempt to create the new character. I just don’t want to attempt this until I know for certain the name will even still be available. I simply don’t know for certain whether or not things work differently when using a Name Change Contract… as far as the availability of the previous name.
I’d hate to do this, only to get some error code or a message telling me the name isn’t available. I wouldn’t be so hesitant if it wasn’t such a popular name… one that folks probably try to create a character with several times an hour. I just want to be sure I don’t lose it.
I couldn’t find a specific answer to this anywhere…
If I understand correctly, I can delete a character, and the name of that character will still be still locked to my account for 24 hours before it becomes available to others.
But… I don’t want to delete the character (he’s a fully geared lvl 80 after all). I simply want to create a new character with the same name.
So my question is this… If I purchase a Name Change Contract from the gemstore to change the name of my current lvl 80 character, does his previous name still remain locked to my account for 24 hours so I can apply it to a newly created character? Or does the name instantly become available to the masses?
Confirmed with me as well. And despite several attempts, I’ve not been able to figure out a workaround.
Count me as another who is having this issue. Did SB once yesterday and once today. No chest spawned for me. Others in chat said the same thing. But for others, it spawned. Very frustrating.
Been said a million times already… but I’d love to be able to zoom in to a first person view. Being able to zoom out a little more would also be very welcome. FOV is fine for me, but obviously not for others… so why not add an FOV adjustment slider and give folks a choice as to their personal preference? It can’t be that difficult to integrate as there are readily available hacks that already do all of these things.
