you have obviously never played engineer, they have no signets… Its an ok class, but needs more description, a lot more of the class ideas that have been posted have had a lot of thought put into them, this looks more like you just had a random though and just threw it up on the forums for everyone to see

No, I haven’t touched on Engie except only briefly. My apologies for an incorrect assumption. Ele’s used to not have signets, but now they do, so I assumed that every profession had them now.

As to the notion of it being a random idea, this was actually fairly thought out ahead of time before I made the post. In addition, I do plan on adding more information as I generate it. My current goal is to make a mockup of the skills bar that this profession might use.

By my count at Least 5 Mineral Springs, Iron Mines of Muldune Ring of Fire and Abbadons Mouth and Hells Precipice

I forgot about a few of the others. So sue me. :P Still not quite enough I would think to maintain a genetically viable population.

Additional content so far:

Trait Lines

• Awareness — Traits in this line deal with the support skills, as being more aware of the current spirits available around you would enable you to do more with them to affect others than yourself.

• Presence — A Seer must seem commanding in order to gain the spirits’ aid. This trait line deals mainly with Haunting skills.

• Channeling — The ability to channel spiritual power through oneself, and function more as a medium for the rage of the spirits to course through. These traits deal mainly with personal power and damage abilities.

• Sacred Arts — Another support line, this one for the various party wide defenses and buffs. I.E. dealing with Talismanic skills and the like.

• Soul Cleansing — This trait line deals with the primary class mechanic for the Seer (which is yet to be determined).

Suggestions and feedback are always welcome of course, so feel free to give alternate desired names, or invent something to add to the profession!

I may just have to do that. My Mesmer is of a royal line and can afford the finest lawyers in Tyria . You have been warned

And what should you call wanting to not be around non RPers

Wanting an RP server is a form of elitism . You are basically saying RPers are more important than others when you’re not. I create a profile for every character I make and I’ll RP it every now and then but i dont feel so self important to need an exclusive server to do it on

Really just seems too similar to Guardian.
Also you forgot to list Scepter in there.

I left the scepter out on purpose. It’s a caster class without needing a scepter, and I felt that made the class more unique.

As to the similarities to Guardian, I’m not really seeing those. Guardians are crusaders of justice. Law enforcement with magic, in essence. They are not mediums who communicate with the dead.

Could make it into a shapeshifter instead, transform into the various beasts of tyria :P

So…you want a druid. The Norn already shapeshift, and Rangers already have the nature magic thing covered.

Yes they were very few in number but whos to say they couldn’t repopulate?

Considering there were only two of them…I can’t see this happening. XD

The guild wars took place in1013AE and ended in 1070AE between Orr Kryta and Ascalon . They also indirectly led to the Charr rise to power which is where GW1 began.

It should cost 1337 gold per person

You mean Rurik’s Sword

Don’t be a Bookah man ! In this case god is being used in the generic form and its not even referring to a real one to begin with nor is Balthazar referring to the wiseman that visited Jesus when he was born . Its like "IN GOD WE TRUST " on U.S currency it can mean any god one happens to believe in .

If someone wants to be offensive they’re going to be regardless thats what the block button is for . In my opinion you’re making a big deal out of nothing . Oh and before you jump on me for being atheist or something like that im Lutheran thank you very much

this has no place in GW

my main is a Male Norn Engineer whos a Huntsman and Leatherworker

If someone broke into your house wouldn’t you upgrade the security with better locks and security system?

Id rather see the Seers make a comeback as a Race . Yes they were very few in number but whos to say they couldn’t repopulate?

meh my beef with them is the harvesting syle only has 50 uses where everything else has 100

i look at the T3 cultural as the new FoW armor . You’re just paying the cost straight up now instead of paying for Mats .

Don’t be a bookah. Skritt are only intelligent in large numbers on Thier on they’re sharp as a marble

Gw1 actually had some economy related rollbacks if I remember correctly So yes poor in game economies can have an effect.

Ummmm are you sure you want to admit to abusing an exploit. That seems dangerous to me

If anything it should be longer and a cost imposed.

Who said you had to go to a bank? Just find the nearest crafting station. Mailing stuff to yourself would be too abusable

You can still get scammed in a trade window and many did in GW 1 . The example I like to use is Ice ( gotten during Galen Trask quest) looked exactly like a sapphire and one could easily be scammed not knowing they bought 5 ice instead of 5 sapphires .

As annoying as they are all mmos need gold sinks

Ok let’s assume you get your way and bronze and rawhide leather is now used in level 225 recipes . This would inflate prices lowing if not negating the profit margin for those that buy mats . It would also increase botting for said mats which is never a good thing.

darkehawke.1269:

isnt magic find already a ridiculously low return anyway?

Yes . I’ll admit I suck at math but even I know 1% of say 5% is an insanely low chance of getting goods

Why would you want a high level character to have to farm low level stuff?

I STRONGLY disagree with open world PvP . It’s my #1 reason for not playing most MMOs in fact. The last thing I want is to be doing a dynamic event or heart and have someone PK me forcing me to waypoint halfway across the map and then run back. That’s not fun to me

I’m going to disagree with this for the time being . Do to fact the game is young they should be given some leeway on working out the kinks as far as Karma item costs and the like .

but i love my golden pantaloons …..

Seriously though why? Its not like your going to be looking at it unless you’ve died too much anyway

although i wouldent MIND a whip i think there are far better weapons that could be added first

Yea ive got a story about another game .The mother of ALL RPGs in fact . Dungeons & Dragons it let you buy ammo too and the Ammo no matter if it was bolts bullets darts or arrows would take up half your inventory cause you would constantly be needing to replenish it . I’ll pass on the +2 ,poison,fire etc arrows they are hindrance not boon . Our skills already provide conditions anyway

i believe all armor crafters can craft such a bag ( or box in the case of armorsmith ) you just need to discover the recipe .

just find the nearest merchant and sell all junk . problem solved .

Wraithcaller.2794:

Members buying armor sets is what personal income is for.

Also: Repeating the same thing does not make it more important. Especially when it is only meant as a minor augment to an already existing primary acquisition method.

As far as armor goes you could make an argument for Elite armor sets but that’s about it .

Clones should definitely be relivable . I love rezing myself after i rally lol . Seriously though this needs fixed .

if a member doesent have the money for repairs there’s a problem….

2 male 3 female

Panthro Dragonbane-Charr Ranger

Panthro of course because of the Thundercats and what better last name than Dragonbane when facing dragons

Adine Kara-Human Mesmer
The orgin of this one is a little odd as its the name of an Ex girlfriend and her online alias ( wasn’t an ex at the time) but since it was my main in Guild Wars 1 i felt obligated to reuse the name . Besides the personality of the Guild Wars Adine Kara is far different than the real one lol.

I take issue with the whole concept of a guild tax because you are FORCING someone to donate and that will turn a lot of people off. When people are ASKED to donate for/to something however they are more likely to do it and will feel good about it .And yes there will even be those who do it freely .

they most likely used an image like

or this

to base their skin off of . Remember unlike in GW1 you’re taming a Juvenile warthog not a fully grown one. I’m not saying its perfect but I’m not going to turn into chicken little either .

In theory the reason is because Eles have attunements and engineers have Kits and turrets . In practice however there are at best only 2 suitable attunements for each weapon set and kits and turrets are only so useful.

just give it a different last name and quite frankly if you’re using your real name as your character name there are serious security risks there ..

NinjaEd.3946:

idk if the lore would allow it but maybe a Kraken? Could use more large scale bosses.

Sure it would . You had Zu Hanuku in Factions after all.They could make his spawning a group event in an Expansion even.

Ibari.1294:

Bobby, for example I’m in the Sylvari arc of “A Splinter in the Flesh”, and its successive missions. Every character seems to miss only the first of their sentences except the Pale Tree, which doesn’t have ANY line.

this seems to be the case in most story lines where they only miss the first line in the cut scene . ive seen a few cases where if a character has 2 consecutive lines they’ll miss the 2nd as well but that’s rare

wagnerian death title – Achieved after taking X minutes to die after being in downed state .

return of Party Animal and Drunkard

Glutton title-Eat X amount Foot items

Dungeon Master have done all dungeons X times in Explorable mode

Dye them sure but I’ll pass on the effects

Considering the max you could have in Guild Wars 1 was 100 "d say 500 was pretty fair Besides nobody wants a mega guild owning a server exceptt the mega guild

Only if i could have a Charr as a mount otherwise i pass.

Elements are far from a second weapon set . Some elements have far greater skill sets on staff than on dagger and yet the Ele is stuck with one weapon set . The Engineer is limited to one weapon set as well. Giving a 3rd set to the Warrior would make it too strong .

Corsix.4895:

Some kind of Polearm, and Crossbow but im not sure who would use it, thief already has bow/pistols, warrior has rifle/bow, engineer has rifle/pistol, maybe guardian could use it. Could be a large 2h crossbow or 1 handed glove type crossbow. Other than that, yeah Javalins, those were cool in #1 and they fit into the Guardian style.

Dont think we need lots of Exotic weapons in this game…

I posted this in another thread but I’ll post it here as well

Do to the Mechanical nature of the crossbow the Engineer would be the best fit for this weapon and the Thief second . A crossbow would have some of the following functions
a pulling skill ,Vulnerability,A volley type skill,Bleed,Burning Perhaps Cripple and Immobilization as well depending on which class was using it .

I would think yellow would be worse but gray or black wouldn’t be a bad idea

So you’re saying discouraging the majority of players from ever doing a dungeon again is a good thing.?Interesting….
