'Reporting' for niceness

in Suggestions

Posted by: Evans.6347

Evans.6347

That’s still very subjective and in no way a system any administrator should take notice of.

If a large group of players, let’s say a guild, starts -1’ing a player because he just happens to be in the same spot as the guild is doing their missions, how representative would that be? The poor guy could be at -150 without ever doing anything wrong or mean.

I don’t trust the community with such power to be honest.

Episode 3 Feedback and discussion

in Lore

Posted by: Evans.6347

Evans.6347

In the original ending of Season 1, it was revealed that Rox and Rytlock are half-sisters. This seems like that is still true, even if not revealed. Rytlock and Rox talk a lot about knowing each other for a long time, throughout the final step.

That scene seemed all right and sweet for me, because I took it for granted that they are siblings. It also explains better why Rytlock makes a point out of it to give Rox grief “when she needs it”.

However, like you said, it was never revealed. Yet, the story is written out as if we are supposed to know. This is becoming a habit isn’kitten

Another rant post

Evans.6347

It’s not that easy. Many have already bought the packages and it will get pretty hairy when they change their minds now.

They’ve already thrown poor Gaile at us, who can still rely on her considerable pool of respect from days past, to do some patch up work. I doubt there will be much of a reaction other than that.

TA F/U path is being removed

in Twilight Assault

Posted by: Evans.6347

Evans.6347

My god, people here can throw some impressive hissy fits.

Oh please, I’m willing to bet that few of the vocal complainers here consistently ran F/U. TA is farmed very intensively, but almost never that horrid path because it just isn’t worth it.

But it’s the principle right? They could have fixed it.
But they didn’t. Instead we get a new, challenging path, with potentially better rewards. And that is a far better deal. So suck it up. Must everything always be a plan to ruin the game?

Pfsh, in a couple of days the drama is going to peter out and things will return to normal, as it always does. I’m even convinced it’ll become the favourite dungeon of at least a portion of the heavy complainers.

… I just can’t grasp these reaction. Is anyone here really going to state, with a straight face, that they only logged in any more to do the wonderful F/U path, which was all of the good that was left in the game?

The normal acended back item looks a lot better. At least add the same amount of glow to the legendary one..

You mean this one?
Looks okay for me.

If a legendary doesn’t inflict seizures, it’s not good enough apparently.

Dragonite eater

Would it? The stuff these eaters give is rubbish and they still consume less than a SW run gives.

Some more practical uses for these resources would be better still. However, I’m happy with what we get.

The real views of the candidates

in Cutthroat Politics

Posted by: Evans.6347

Evans.6347

It was officially stated that the politics of the candidate we pick might influence Lions Arch over the next years to come.

Vague as always but something to consider. Though I have a preference for Kiel atm, I’m not completely convinced she’d make a good politician. I think the choice between them boils down to either military support or financial/material support in further dragon campaigns.

What Scarlet saw...

in Lore

Posted by: Evans.6347

Evans.6347

What exactly is it that she is trying to change? Fate?

What I get is that she saw the fate and purpose of the sylvari, claims to have seen the whole of Eternal Alchemy (but hasn’t), and is now trying to break the sylvari race from the chains of their purpose (aka Wyld Hunts).

I partially agree Konig. It seems to me she is talking on a larger scale than just the Sylvari.

“But I see the flaws in that design. My people don’t have to take what we’re given, or be what we were “born to be.” No people do. We can change the rules…well, I can. And I’m going to.”

So even though clearly the Sylvari are a big part of it, what seems to drive them also drives the other races. And she intends to change it.

I’m also still very interested in the reaction of the Pale Tree. Where she just ignored Caderyn, she flat out declares war against Ceara.

In the image you posted of Queen’s Gauntlet foes, you list Doobroosh as having a variable weight of 150-450. (I think, don’t have it in front of me.)

Where do you even get these images you’re talking about? Do I have to scan some Facebooks, Twitters or Tumblrs for it? Because I definitely do not see them neither on the official site nor the Dev Tracker.

For your convenience, taken from Facebook.

Also the fact Suriel is a Quaggan is surreal!

Rate the Charrmor (Charr Armor) above you!

in Charr

Posted by: Evans.6347

Evans.6347

Really nice. Not only do you have the steampunk soldier theme going, but you colour-coordinated it well too. 9/10

As for mine, it’s a new elementalist I made in light of the new hairstyles. I’ve taken the obvious Beast from Beauty and the Beast look. Only took 1 hair style and 2 total makeovers to get the clipping minimal

Style basically only consists out of Ascalonian clergy vest and pants, with some low level basic boots. As you can tell, I’ve taken the least menacing route, trying to make a calm, serene and majestic lion.

Addressing a misconception about AP

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Evans.6347

Evans.6347

Let’s clear something up about AP.

AP is not about player skill. It is not about experience.

AP in my opinion measures how seriously you take this game

Actually for a large part AP is much more about how much free time you have on your hands than it is about dedication.

You can take Guild Wars as serious as kitten, but if you don’t have hours to spend on grinding AP (if you call that dedication to begin with), then it ain’t gonna happen.

I do admit the new LS achievements have improved the old formula.

Revenant Test Weekeend Questions

Posted by: Evans.6347

Evans.6347

It is kind of a silly move, isn’kitten I’d think they’d want to encourage the use of the revenant in as many aspects of the games as possible to get good data. Instead they’ll have many people try out a couple of skills in a world map and ditch it to get rewards with their old characters.

Seriously, whats wrong with getting drops and currencies? Just flag the equipment that we get as ‘karma’ gear, so we cant salvage or sell it. What else do they need to cover anyway?

What disaster will befall QJ?

She comes in with a grand illusion, making hundreds of copies of herself, which in turn makes all the clockwork guards short circuit so they run off all around Kryta to look for the Queen, attacking anything in their way.

Sounds plausible?

It’s counter-intuitive actually. Scraps are supposed to be the consolation prize, however, as it stands you have to be lucky to even get the consolation prize.

So it’s no longer a certain consolation, but an uncommon consolidation prize.

No, but there is a work-around, even if it’s rather time and resource consuming.
If you infuse one of the rings (using the MF recipe) you can still equip both.

It does warn you however, but it’s very vague. It says it’s unique.

Watch Knights -> Twisted -> Steam Creatures

in Clockwork Chaos

Posted by: Evans.6347

Evans.6347

Bringing this back up, another, albeit questionable link pointing at twisted creatures being the in-between is that you apparently need to put 4 twisted creatures mini’s in the mystic forge to make a steam creature mini.

Random? I think not!

Can charr armor clipping ever get fixed?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Evans.6347

Evans.6347

The old excuse was that Charr were the least played race and thus no priority to fix. I’m not sure if that’s still the case, but don’t hold your breath for fixes.

That said, I find it incredibly lazy that even a large amount of outfits are not fixed for the Charr. Honestly, there should not be a single outfit that is not tailored to the tail of Charr.
