Nerfed Champ Bags/Boxes ?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Adine.2184

Adine.2184

Hello all, I looked into this because we intended to have a release note for the changes to the champion loot.
We did modify the gold and bloodstone dust coming from champion bags, and a release note will be added shortly.
What I can tell you is that we made a mistake, this one fell through the cracks and I’m truly sorry. I’ve promised before that we won’t make stealthy economic changes without notes and I mean to stick to that promise.
Thank you all for pointing out the error, we will be more vigilant in the future.
Good luck in your adventures.

Is there any way you could revert it for even 24hours? I have 1.3k+ boxes saved up to help save space. Had I known I would have obviously popped them.

If not can I at least get a hug?

you had to know a nerf was coming it was just a matter of when .

Ranger Or Mesmer?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Adine.2184

Adine.2184

I would say Mesmer .They have better support skills for WvW and dungeons in my opinion. Ranger can be fun but it makes for a better PvE alt where as Mesmer is a better everything class . Im a Mesmer main though so im a bit bias .

My objection to the trinity, and I’ve said this before, is how artificial it is. How exciting would Lord of the Rings been if anyone only ever attacked Boromir while Gandalf healed him.

to be fair all Frodo did was fall down followed by Sam saying “mr Frodo !” the entire trilogy . As for Boromir well…he could of used a heal seeing as hes the only one who DIED.

DPS over everything else. Personally I find it extremely shallow.
PvE requires no healing and close to no support, only massive DPS.

Right…..try taking that into a Teqatl fight see where it gets you.

I think they did a pretty good job with breaking the trinity mold. Sure some encounters could use work but considering this is the first game to break the mold in a very long time there are gonna be some kinks that need worked out . I hope more games ditch the trinity in the future to be honest.It’s a passe model and the more games break the mold the better trinityless games will get .

Adine.2184

Naw you’re not a noob just a newbie which is to be expected .

The most unique class i would say is the Mesmer and the steepest learning curve i would say is the Ele or Engie .As far as classes being frowned upon though i would say no . All classes have their strong and weak points like any other MMO.

The living world can be confusing at times i’ll admit but thats where Dulfy comes in
http://dulfy.net/category/gw2/

Its a pretty good site for all things living world . As far as Dungeons and fractals are concerned if its not covered in the wiki dont be afraid to ask someone in chat .End game is pretty open ended in GW so I’ll let you figure out how you want to spend your time on it when you actually get there .

As far as the community goes I’d have to say its one of the better ones .

Time For New Armor

Adine.2184

Honestly what i would really like is some Profession based armors . Place merchants around the world and depending on where the look of the profession based armor would be different . Kryta ,Orr, Ascalon , the shiverpeaks. Why not have 2 in Kryta or Ascalon i mean how cool would it be to have branded armor ? Weight based is all well and good and cultural is nice but profession based could really make ya stand out .

This game was originally designed with a level playing field in mind, .

No it wasnt . if that was the case mesmers wouldn’t be able to confuse you from dusk until dawn and possibly for eternity , Theives wouldn’t have stealth ( level playing field disappeared there ) etc . so personally i think its fine the way it is .

Discussion: Leveling alts - boring?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Adine.2184

Adine.2184

I dont know that I’d call leveling alts boring its more that the cap is 20 levels too high . You reach a point in leveling an alt where you just burn out on it and for me its around level 55-60. Once i hit that ive got to swap to something else for a while .

i get to that point too at 55-60 even if i use the 1-20 boost and craft another 20 levels, theres something about that level range that gets tiring

as soon as you get through it and hit 80 it’s like “FREEDOM!!!” and you jump around your room doing several double fist pumps… or that’s just me :P

lol i dont know about the fist pumps perhaps a sigh of relief that I finely got to 80 though . Once i get my alts to 80 i can play them all day long its just the process of getting there where i burn out on it .

Dual arena's

Adine.2184

I know there have been plenty topics about duals, and that a lot of people want it, but some don’t at all (though an option “do not prompt me with duals” would solve that concern i guess)

Ultimately i would love it if there were people dueling all over the world! in lionsarch etc. But i think that will never happen (would be cool if there were days that you could, like full moon or something

But more realistic i thought there could be a new “hearth of the mist” type area
that has arenas (like those from the clockwork chaos above the obsidian sanctum) that way the duelers are in no-ones way and don’t get effected by other peoples boons. it also takes away the sour taste of a flag planted in your face, as you spawn outside when your health drops to zero.
If someone was to enter one of these arena’s, people outside can see what class you are and decide to step in, or just wait around till the preferred class shows up somewhere else and then hop in, great way to practice your fighting against certain classes
You could also have private arena’s, that way you can fight your friends and guildies.
It would be nice if this didn’t work with the PvP build but the PvE/WvW build. I know PvP is supposed to be more balanced and fair. but i don’t like having to choose 2 predetermined stat blocks and that’s your build…

well anyway that was my idea…

In this kind of setting where its kept in the mists i have no problems with it whatsoever

in Suggestions

Posted by: Adine.2184

Adine.2184

The bard would likely have to implemented with Chants and Echos like a Paragon in GW1 . The Guardian already covers the support heavy very well though so you would really have to make the Bard a jack of all trades neither strong in offense or defense to make its role unique in its weight class .

That’s kind of the idea . I don’t want to give it the support chant though as I feel it would upset balance . Instead I would give it limited support skills in the utility slots . its ment more as a jack of all trades master of none in the heavy category .

Ive got 5 80s too and its really about what you have the most fun on . You cant really look at having 5 80s as a bad thing though cause if start to burn out on one class or style of play you can always switch to another .Besides some classes are just better at some things than others so variety never hurts
