Guild Wars 2

Guhracie.3419:

I do think outfits should be more modular in the ability to hide certain aspects of them, but that may be something they’re working on right now.

This x100. There are outfits that I would spend money on if I could just hide the shoulders. I can hide the helm on outfits – why stop there? I want to hide those horrible shoulders on most of the outfits, and also gloves depending on the outfit. The crystal nomad with those redonkulous levitating crystals?! Hideous to me. I should be able to hide them. Add the function, make more money – not sure what downside there is.

I also want more armor sets, so I’m not a die-hard outfit fan, but they are great IMHO for leveling so I don’t have a clown suit of mixed gear on my random alts.

My elementalist – t1 cultural pants with masquerade shoulders, student chest, and apprentice boots. Midnight rose and midnight elm for the colors. I try to go with a more regal look for her, and even went with the “old” human face.

I purchased this game because it made claims about being story-driven and casual. This isn’t a game for power gamers – it’s touted as being for the casual player. Why was this part of the story gutted? I keep seeing reference to “confusing players” – if that was why it was removed I find that to be pretty offensive. I’m an adult with a college degree, I assure you that I am capable of grasping video game mechanics (having the reflexes to actually make them work is a whole other issue, lol) and story intricacies.

I’ve gotten one character through the level 70 (new chapter 7) quest and it was disjointed and was confusing, because I kept being told “hey, good to see you again” by NPCs I’d never met, there were important plot items I’d never seen before but was supposed to know what they were, and so on. It makes me feel like I did something wrong, missed a step somewhere. My husband is still working through Ch. 8 and is so jarred by the inconsistencies in the dialogue that he stopped working on it and doesn’t want to go past Claw Island on any other character. I’ve gotten the one through Ch. 7 and am in the same boat – I don’t want to go past Claw Island.

I’ve got issues with Claw Island as well, but that’s mainly due to the stupid suicide (cough sacrifice) that my order mentors do. I mean, all of them just walk in and die to the Orrians, presumably to come back as a zombie to fight me (I mean seriously, it’s told to us that Zhaitan gets his intel from the minds of the fallen that he converts, so by my mentors committing suicide they are actually helping Zhaitan a HUGE amount, did no one think of this?!), and it doesn’t even help us proceed to escape the island and you still have to come back and re-take it. Pointless death.

Since we’re new we’ve missed the boat on LS part 1 and there too is another example of NPCs talking to us that we have no idea who they are, or references to NPC we will never meet.

I’m pretty happy with my necro’s look. It’s a mix of conjurer, primitive, and the starter skull face option.

Colors are calfskin, mithril, and spite.
