Guild Wars 2

I live in Israel and for a few weeks I played on Jade Quarry and I had no lag issues at all. I currently play on Desolation (EU) and can’t honestly tell the difference between the two.

Cruentus Liber.6042:

so u think is fun and realistic to see 40 people as one model ? and AOE skills hit 5 of 40 ?

I never expressed my opinion on the issue, merely that it is not an exploit. It would be the same as complaining about thieves HS spamming. They are playing by the game’s mechanics fair and square. Dislike of the game mechanics and discussions on how to improve them are usually welcomed, but I don’t think calling it an exploit is fair.

Those are well known and intended game mechanics and using them to your advantage when you have large numbers it not the definition of exploitation or abuse.

For those that haven’t played The Lord of the Rings Online, the manner in which you choose your cosmetic appearance is by slotting the gear you wish to appear to be wearing in the cosmetic gear slots. Basically, you have your regular gear slots, which affects your stats, and your cosmetic gear slots which affects your appearance.

The beauty of this system as opposed to the current one implemented in GW2 is that it allows you to look how you want without the hassle of constantly having to transmutate your gear. Another bonus of that system is that you only ever have to get a cosmetic set once (as opposed to once per set of gear, in GW2).

I understand that transmutation stones are a source of income for ANet in the gem shop, but I honestly think that the new system would overall result in more sales of cosmetic gear itself, rather than items that enable it, due to the ease at which people could customize their appearances. If you know that once you buy a cosmetic set of gear – you have that unlocked to always look that way without any hassle, you are likelier to make the purchase.

Selling extra cosmetic gear slots (ala LOTRO, allowing multiple cosmetic appearances to be made and switched at any given time) is also another viable income option from the gem shop.

Feedback would be appreciated.

We’re very aware of the fact that you don’t wish to share with us your plans, as not to create a situation in which the player base believes you promised something which you failed to deliver.

So rather than ask you to share with us everything you are working on, it would be nice to be presented with some of your more concrete plans for the direction you are taking the mesmer.

With that said, we still understand that nothing is truly ever concrete until it has been released, but with all the discussions going on, it would be nice to know what the general thoughts of the devs are.

Thanks
