Wow great job on the more new weapons!…oh wait I’m an engineer and no matter what you come up with for weapon skins I’m still running around with the same hobo sack that I used as a lvl 15 engi 8months ago….

"Replacing" Ellen Kiel

As title says, looking for people to help Ellen Kiel ‘step down’ and have Evon Gnashblade take his rightful place as one of the Council members.

ps. Voting was rigged – Kiel cheated!
On serious note: Anet this is fail :/. Gnashblade had so much better potential as a character.

We still have low damage.
We still have poor sustain (can be easilly kited/killed.)
We are still one of the hardest classes to play.

This is lulzy coming from the highest damage, and one of the highest sustain class. It’s also the class that is widely considered to be ez-mode and faceroll.

Gaurdians/Rangers/Engineers/Thieves all have higher sustain.

Rangers have higher sustained damage, Guardians have higher Sustained Damage, Thieves have higher burst damage.

Please go back to your own forums.

Since when do thieves have higher sustain? If they’re in stealth they can’t do anything except regen health which is still lower than healing signet PASSIVE…
This compared to warriors that can deal extreme amounts of damage all the while regening health at extreme amounts, they’re virtually unstoppable.

Warrior is widely regarded to do the most DPS, a lot more than ranger and guardian for sure. As far as burst DPS, warrior wins with hundred blades. Nothing can touch that.

Did you know the world record for running cof p1 was set by a party consisting of 1 mesmer, 1 ranger 1 warrior and 2, I say again, TWO thieves?

They were just brought along to blast in the fire fields.

All is vain.

Anyone else hope that...

Queen Jennah will be assassinated during her Jubilee?

Enough of these goody goody two shoes characters! Please, please start killing them off!

And what would you replace them with? All of the characters in this game, goody two shoes or no, are cardboard cutouts. There’s no more depth to Evon Gnashblade than there is Ellen Kiel, for example.

Evon supporters should buy more votes with $$$$ or keep on grinding. That’s all Anet wants. But I guess Ellen supporters will do the same. So it’s even more win for Anet.

I don’t think they care who wins, it’s all about getting people to spend more bucks and to log more play time.

So I just saw the update in the polls and after 9.5million tokens it still sits at 52%/48% which was the same as last week. I cannot believe that it is that close.

The forums are full of people wanting that fractal to be made, and hardly any positive threads about Kiel. She’s already been labeled Trahearne 2.0, other threads are questioning why anyone would like her. On my server the chat is always in favour of Evon.

I think we have hyped up the Abaddon fractal too much and Anet will skew the number in Kiels favour just to avoid a disappointing fractal that doesn’t live up to expectations.

calling it now, the race will be close and Kiel will unfortunately win, then we will get another inquest dungeon with golems.

I have been wondering the same thing since launch. It makes no sense at all. Anet doesn’t want racial skills to give a specific race an unfair advantage, making the skills weak/useless isn’t the solution….

Some pretty interesting ideas here. I was actually spit-balling some ideas on how to address this today. This has always been something that has bothered me, too.

For example:

  • Have kits respect the existing back item flag. If you have a back item and you want to show it, hide the kit. If you don’t have a back item or choose to hide it, always show the kit. Obviously this makes it a little harder than usual to tell what kit you are using, so:
    • A nameplate icon similar to Elemental Attunements would be a good addition (I may add this regardless if we can get the art )
    • Move the kit somewhere else on your body. I know, crazy right? For example, who doesn’t like a sweet fanny-pack?

Hopefully this finally gets resolved soon, and I’ll do what I can to see that happen. Keep in mind, as Colin mentioned before, that there are some pretty beefy projects going on that are consuming our engineering time. But that doesn’t exactly mean we can’t sneak stuff in here and there .

10 years is not normally a Jubilee

And cowards are not normally celebrated as heroes, but Logan’s place in Divinity’s Reach shows us that Krytan pride doesn’t concern itself with details.

I can’t say saving the queen from branded threat is cowardness.

That’s true… he did run from one fight directly into another. Coward or Hero depends if you were part of the fight he ran from or to.

Evo, when you stop playing a character, because there is a constantly an ugly backpack on it, you want an option to switch it of, not to make the devs look “more recognisable”.
You really want SO many players simply to stop playing?

Besides(and no offense ment)…you SERIOUSLY kittening think that ANYONE can kittennig see or care in a 10v10 what the hell is on xy character ower there shooting kitten at you?
In 1v1 you know it anyway? Like you can calculate on it? That he is omg holding a FLAMETHROWER? What to do? I
To be serious…You want balance? You want opponents to be able to recognize what you are “using?”. Can you tell a rangers “offpet” from looking at him? Can you tell what the guardian has as “switch” weapon? Can you tell, that is a guardian or a warrior from first blink? Since they use the same kind of armors? (unless he is runing araund with a staff)
PS : You want balance ask the devs to give warriors a warrior only thing, and all can se its a warrior, and for all classes. And hopefully ask them to make it ULTRAUGLY, just that half the cummunity can leave the game.
No offense really…but i TOTALLY dont agree with you and wont stand down on this.

Black Lion Keys...

So, i seen this post.

“Changing Soon – Aetherized Weapon Skin Prices
At the end of the week, we’ll be raising the prices of our beautiful Aetherized Weapon Skins. You’ll still be able to get Black Lion Tickets and Ticket Scraps from our Black Lion Chests, but the cost of weapons will go up”

I figured well, i better buy some keys and try my luck for the Black Lion Ticket scraps. I bought 10 keys. Out of the 10 chests i got 3 Black Lion Ticket Scraps. I was super excited. I looked up the Black Lion Ticket Scraps on some wiki post and seen i need 10 for one skin…..I figured ok maybe that post was wrong. Checked another post and it also had 10.

So at the end of the week the “Cost will go up” are you out of your minds? At this rate, i would need to spend like $50 for keys since they NEVER drop. I mean like never.

I guess my question is. How many Scraps did you get on your chests? and how many chests did you open? Did i just run into some bad luck?

Queen Jennah assassination incoming?

Yeah I’m sure ANet cannot wait to assassinate the Queen and redo all the personal story quests that reference her, including one where we save her from death at the hands of a Risen maniac. And plain remove Caduceus Manor from the game since the story part just makes no sense without Jennah.

Total Makeover, no name change?

Why do total makeover kits not allow for a name change if you change from a male to a female?

I changed my ranger to be my first female character, and now she’s stuck with a pretty well known male name.

Name changes should be included when changing sexes.

I want to play my engineer, I really do. But two things take so much of the fun out of it and leave it as such a frustrating experience.

1. The dumb kit sacks we are forced to wear with our kits. No one likes them. I know not one engineer who thinks they looks good. Can we PLEASE get rid of them? Or at least give us an option to use our back piece instead of the dumb kit sack. My elementalist does not have to wear a dumb sack when I use elemental weapons, so why should engineers?
2. The grenades. I love throwing grenades, its my favorite kit. But my left button on my mice cry every time I use them. Why can’t the land version of grenades be the same as the underwater version? I used to tell myself this way is better since I can manually aim the grenades, but its not. It is nearly impossible to dodge and roll around and manually aim each “1” grenade. I don’t mind having to click for the “2” through “5” grenades. But the “1” grenades should auto aim and fire like normal long range weapons. Why can’t they do this? The underwater version of grenades does this and isn’t horribly annoying like land grenades.

The second reason annoys me more then the first, but the combined reasons keep me from touching my engineer unless I want CoF tokens and I already ran it on my other level 80 characters.

My personal expectations of the Living Story were something along the lines of what was delivered in Flame and Frost (but with more permanent additions). The content was designed in a way so that the player felt like he was actively contributing to the story and that the Molten Alliance was defeated with the players playing a pivotal role.

But now, all I can see as far as the Living Story is concerned is two weeks of throwaway minigames bound up by content that I personally consider a joke. Cutthroat Politics is really the last straw for me, as ALL the man hours for this content were spent in minigames.

I do not play the Living Story for minigames, and I never will. I did not buy Guild Wars because I was expecting updates containing throwaway content released every two weeks. If you want to release lots of temporary content, that’s fine, but please stop with the throwaway minigames. I’m sick of them, and it goes against the idea of a living STORY.

I want the living story to be a STORY, not just a new carnival every two weeks.

For the reasons above, I consider Bazaar of the Four Winds/Cutthroat Politics to be the weakest chapter in the Living Story by far and beyond. I would like this trend to stop, and it is for this reason I am posting today.
