Not to mention that it’s not QoL. When will people finally learn what QoL is?

This is officially scraping the bottom of the complaint barrel now. How dare they make regular updates to the game.

Revenant and ranger bleed attacks

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ariurotl.3718

Ariurotl.3718

Why melee class (Revenant) have better “1” skill than class like Ranger for his short-bow?

There’s no such thing as a “melee” class or a “ranged” class in GW2. And even then, Revenant already had Hammer as a very strong ranged option, so what exactly is “melee” about it?

What is your Opinion on Elite Locked Weapons

I prefer it the way it’s been done, with Elite specs coming as a “kit”.

Yes, because Ranger lacks that long-range weapon option.

Charr character size on springer bunny mount

No serious Charr will mount on a rabbit anyway. Imagine Orks riding on bunnies. Meh.

Come on Anet, I know you’ve got your hands full with the expansion, but this is exactly the time when a lot of people catch up on the story to prepare for the next expansion. A hotfix for this should be a priority.

The Mounts are Useless

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ariurotl.3718

Ariurotl.3718

They did it so that people who wanted mounts would shut up about them already and buy PoF. I agree, GW2 never needed mounts, but there was a ridiculous yet vocal demand for them, so there you go.

At least the dead horse can now rest in peace.

Ascended Valkyrie Trinkets

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ariurotl.3718

Ariurotl.3718

No, you definitely can pick Valkyrie when choosing stats for LS3 (or raid) trinkets but not for any other selectable ones. So it’s raids or LS3, I’d say the latter is much easier.

Remove berserker and allow only condi builds

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ariurotl.3718

Ariurotl.3718

No, leave berserker stats as an option. Some people might still want to use it. Heck, some of them are actually good at the game (even though most zerk users fold in half when a HoT critter sneezes in their general direction).

New "Repeatable HP" icon is not good

Posted by: Ariurotl.3718

Ariurotl.3718

Two days on, I’m still not used to this. Two years of conditioning re: the colors of completed and non-completed HPs, and now I have to look for a tiny symbol in the corner. No, this is not a good decision. Just change the bloody color.

That’s why there’s many more mastery points available than you actually need to train all available masteries.

I saw the tiny plus sign on some but had no idea what it meant. It could have meant that that’s the ones I still need to do. That’s a bad design imo. Why not an obvious color change instead of a tiny plus sign that can be hard to see.

The flash upon UI mouse over tells which one is still needed, but not everyone knows that trick or may have forgotten it if the last map completion was some time back.

Agreed, all they need to do is change the color of the repeatable ones. A simple palette swap will solve this.

The challenge ones then with champs, not the commune Hero points?

Yah, if you can’t easily tell which ones you’ve done already that would be very annoying.

Yep. You can actually jump into any HoT map right now and see how these icons look after the patch.

There’s repeatable Hero points now?

They’ve always been repeatable in the sense that you get a daily chest. Now ANet decided to point that fact out on the world map. I guess their thinking is that it’ll make people more eager to join in if they’d already done the HP. That in itself is a good idea, I suppose. But the icon needs to be changed further.

Simply slapping a tiny infinity symbol on those HPs and changing the color slightly is not enough, guys. I’m map-completing HoT on an alt currently and those HPs I completed yesterday look way too similar to those I’m yet to do. Make them blue or purple or whatever, but don’t just leave them like this.

EDIT: Here’s what I’m talking about. They revert to the “completed” state (but still with an infinity symbol) once you get the daily chest. But unless you’re doing the entire map in one day, have fun looking for HPs you still need to get.

Why do hammers look so small?

Well, that’s just your opinion.

Don’t like it, you are free to skip it and find something else.

I direct these quotes straight back at you. That is indeed just your opinion and you are indeed free to find some other game with bigger hammers if you want that kind of thing.

Why not? The lines of what’s realistic enough for a fantasy setting and what is too out there even for such a setting are still drawn somewhere. Might as well draw them here, especially considering that hammers are already unrealistically huge.

Funny you should mention longbows cause they are actually a bit too short in the game. Actual longbows had length roughly equal to the archer’s height.

As for greatswords… well, they are generally too big in the game, but one can argue that at least their length is not too exaggerated as some types of two-handed swords did reach extraordinary lengths (but weren’t wielded much like in the game and didn’t look like washboards with hilts).

Hammers in GW2 are mostly too big, really. You’re just used to seeing giant sledgehammers because RPGs tend to go overboard with the size of this particular weapon specifically. That’s why it was a pleasant surprise to see Skyrim hammers looking manageable at the very least.

Conceptually, Deadeye. Gameplay-wise… I can’t say I’m looking forward to any of them tbh. I just want more maps, story and stuff out of PoF. Elite specs just didn’t grab my attention much this time.

Question for Warrior class in new expansion

Concerns about Expansion 2

Ariurotl.3718

After all the bad designs, no good legendary armor, the new legendary weapons being a joke… story sucking… im really disappointed… if i dont see any good changes on the next expansion i think after almost 5 years im out of here.. sorry Arena Net. But you need to make it good…

Yep, what a failure it was, only kept you playing for mere 5 years.

Are the new weapon skins seriously 2 tickets?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ariurotl.3718

Ariurotl.3718

Not bothered by this tbh. They’re still tradeable, and most people with a working brain buy these skins on the TP. The skins are really nice-looking as well, with lots of detail.

It’s really a non-issue imo when there’s much more suspect stuff at play, namely those seasonal account-bound on acquire items they started putting into BL chests.

now that you mention this item Queen bee.
i was thinking about it some months ago.

wouldn’t it be awesome to add a 50% increase running speed to the item becouse..

Only if you also get 25 stacks of poison at all times.

For me it’s been happening since forever (over a year, at the very least) but only with a gathering boost on. The game seems to re-equip your weapons. For engi, that also means stowing kits.

Easy to Implement Idea for Character Naming

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ariurotl.3718

Ariurotl.3718

I know how frustrating it is to think of a great name for your character and find out it’s already taken, but I’m still against allowing identical character names. The “already taken” wall weeds out at least some of the horribly unimaginative names, and the difficulty in contacting players who use unusual characters to bypass the name wall has a hidden benefit of making people consider using a different, more convenient name.

If OP’s suggestion were to be implemented, we’d swim in Daeneryses Targaryen by the end of the day.

Participation system should be scrapped

Ariurotl.3718

I’ve barely ever seen anyone semi-afk on purpose and I’ve done pretty much everything there is to do in overland PvE.

The only time I’ve seen and personally done that is when doing daily events on a map, but it’s common courtesy more than anything and I wish more people did that (e.g. tag only one enemy or fetch only one quest item, and let others participate and earn their daily event).

Is there no progression for a better gear?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ariurotl.3718

Ariurotl.3718

There was some vertical progression in the Heart of Thorns expansion in that ANet introduced gear prefixes which are objectively better than the ones available in core.

No. HoT combinations are not “objectively better”, that’s an inane statement. Just different combinations adding a bit of depth and variety.

I’d prefer it if they “advanced” the story of Southsun Cove, turned it into a proper map with lots of PoI, vistas and events, pacified the Karka a little (still keep the Queen in the corner somewhere, of course) and held a beach festival there.

It’s a map that just begs to be developed further, and with the summer festival drought, two birds can be killed with one stone.

Permanent contracts are sold on the TP. I’m not sure what gems-to-gold ratio is at the moment, but if you wanted to buy a permanent contract outright with real money through gems-to-gold exchange, it wouldn’t be nearly as much as you’re saying.

Human or Norn warrior?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ariurotl.3718

Ariurotl.3718

The only thing I can think of is that the Human voiceover style is not very suited for anything other than a noble squishy rogue or mesmer, sadly. So if you want an immersive experience as a classic warrior type, you’re better off making a Norn.
