Complaining about speed… on an engie?

What?
It takes a mere 2 trait points to give engineers perma-swiftness.
4 points into the weakest traitline for power shoes is a bit much, but it is still an option as well.

Also, you can slot in slick shoes or rocket boots as mobility skills to speed you up. (Slick shoes is for the toolbelt skill, which grants super-speed)

I get your point, and even somewhat agree with you, but engie is an odd class choice for that complaint specifically. Especially given that necro is known to be one of the slower classes with poor mobility and escape options.

Some classes having better access to speed makes sense from a balancing point of view and especially for spvp, but it feels more like punishing someone for playing certain classes in open world gameplay. They may as well just slap in a signet-like skill available to all classes like the Antitoxin that gives 25% move speed and Reduces fall damage (but with none of the other bonuses of the class-exclusive versions) so anyone can slap it on while doing map exploring without having to redo their whole build just for a bit of mobility.

yes it was a poor choice. I regretted it quickly after posting. However, I am not complaining about class balance or traits or the state of swiftness available to other classes. I’m just merely stating that I like the feel of my necro when I have the signet. I don’t see how upping the base run speed by 25% is gamebreaking, I just think the current speed feels too slow.

I would like to see it faster, deal with it…

If silverwastes was an expansion it would have still beat WoD in the content department lol.

Yes, hyperbole. No, I don’t care.

but then i have to trait into that. I’m just saying base run speed increase would be nice in general instead of having to burn it on signets and traits.

As the title states, I have recently started playing a Necro and the 25% signet run speed increase has ruined my ability to go back to the pallid canter of my engi. The speed increase feels perfect IMO, thoughts?

I also think that the background in the char select screen should reflect what zone they are in. So many great sceneries in gw2 when I show this game to friends they are always surprised how beta the char select screen looks… I mean it doesnt even show ur weapon…

And engi kits!!! Also I would like to see backgrounds relative to the toons location or hometown at char select screen…

I said most not all… I bet some don’t like this game cuz its made in America. Ppl don’t like stuff for ridiculous reasons. I don’t care to hear all of them. I was merely stating my opinions and observations.

I like this game. Its fun. For a 1 yr old mmo it has TONS of promise and longevity. Most ppl that don’t like this game are just uncomfortable with how different it is compared to more traditional MMOs. Sure there are plenty of issues but with 350 ppl working on it and a big international launch coming up u would be a fool to think that what u see is what u get with gw2.

I’m not disputing the possibility of carrots or plants growing in the snow… I’m just saying it would be nice that they made them covered in snow in the snowier regions of the game… They did this with the cherry aspen. Its not a complicated fix just a nice aesthetic touch like footprints or water splash…. Sheesh some ppl…

But they would be covered in snow like the cherry aspens in the zone…

Asura. When u drop a bomb bigger than ur toon…u know u made the right choice. Also asura with a flame thrower never gets any less awesome.

Since engis don’t get weapon swap or melee, what if they made toolkit a perm swap in the slot where WS is for other classes? I know tool kit is awesome but no melee weapons really make sense imo…maybe axe?

Love the game! Hate the fact that carrot nodes are bright green and lush in snowy lands. I know its small but it really sticks out. Any other small issues that bug ppl or am I just weird?
