They were an interesting reward, that GW2 never explored or did anything with. The things you can do with mystic coins today are the same things as launch.
As for the laurel nerf, I think we’re getting a laurel nerf because in that one screenshot, the players have to choose between laurels and other rewards. (not all players will choose laurels).
Problem lies exactly there. If they value laurels by adding a bunch of recipes and stuff later on, you’re doomed to grind again. Depending on rewards I’ll stick to laurels, unless it’s something VERY significant.
Unless Anet does an overhaul on the way we obtain pre-cursors then the prices will to skyrocket out of control and within a few months, dusk will be 4000g.
You can keep track of boons and conditions by targeting the elemental, but yeah, a timer would be much appreciated. About the other, I honestly don’t know why we can’t see back items, even the most sparkling one wouldn’t hide the model at all.
If Wildstar delivers what they promise (big IF though, talk is cheap) then the GW2 team better start soon with adding some more meat to their game or the game will fall into obscurity come winter.
I like fighting headfirst, but sometimes I wish we’d foil the enemy’s plans at the cost of being pulled to another dimension, so we could break stuff in there and keep the beautiful landscapes intact. I feel so much for Kessex Hills…
Hi guys, I made a poll to measure what people felt tempests are mostly lacking from last BWE+first balance pass (stickied dev post). This isn’t meant to be a rant (though I can’t control people’s posts).
The poll accept multiple answers and asks to skip some options depending on what you choose (so it makes sense). I made it entirely considering the Tempest itself, rather than other Elementalist builds or gameplays.
Feel free to discuss the major points which, in your opinion, need fine-tuning, or simply shouldn’t make it past beta.
Heat Sync: Cast purging flames on self that converts conditions to might, and spread it to allies. If no condition is converted spread fire aura instead.
Might: 3stacks per condition (14s)
Fire Shield: 6s
Conditions Converted: 2
Not sure if useless, but at least some play to it. Might require increasing cooldown…
