Well of Precognition QoL

in Mesmer

Posted by: Ariurotl.3718

Ariurotl.3718

I believe this version could use a few improvements:
- No cast time and being able to cast timely (like feedback)
Like most other stunbreakers, it doesn’t need one, it breaks the skill completely.
- Lower cooldown
Other wells generally don’t have a terribly long cooldown for a small effect, it should be at least 25s.
-Pulse for every half a second as opposed to one per second
Because it simply can’t block much or anything when there’s more than one target.

Literally none of your suggestions can be considered QoL. Not a single one of them. Why do people keep saying “QoL” when they really mean “buff”?

Really now, why are Human male faces so bad?

First you have three basic presets with minor variations repeated throughout, they all look roughly the same (“male model” look). Not terrible, but pretty much everyone uses them, so everyone looks the same.

Then you have the only Asian face which after an hour of tinkering STILL looks like a post-op F->M no matter what you do. The other face that looks somewhat Asian has no apparent eye sockets whatsoever, the eyes look painted on and weird.

Then you have two “regular guy” faces, one of which is used by almost every single NPC in the game (you know the one, the slightly older face with smaller eyes) and the other has glitchy eyes which go just enough outside of the sockets to annoy you.

There is exactly ONE face from the TMK that is sort of decent, but I use it on my only regular Human character already.

How is it even possible to have these diverse and detailed faces for nearly every other race, but fail so hard at creating your basic human face?

Is there some good gaming rationale for some exotics being account bound and some not that I’m missing?

HoT stats are part of the “HoT package”, that’s why they’re not tradeable. If somebody wants these stat combinations, they have to buy the expansion.

Yep, now you can have full Zealot’s if you have HoT.

Meanwhile, we still don’t have Captain’s weapons or armor. I can’t imagine this combination being OP, so who knows what’s going on with that… I say give it Seraph’s style treatment in one of the upcoming LS episodes. That way you won’t even have to create a “gem” for it.

It needs to be big because you are inside of it.

It is a spirit, it’s incorporeal. Everything should clip through it without ruining immersion for once.

Eh, I don’t like that set in general, what with that cloth flapping and clipping through everything. But it does look kinda nice otherwise. T2 looks like every generic overblown fantasy crap armor, so I prefer T1. It’s simple and utilitarian, without any flashiness. Perfect!

Suggestion: New voices

but I love the male human voice. it fits my character a lot

No one is asking for it to be replaced. It does indeed suit my mesmer, for example… but not my warrior. And to be honest, it’s the most… schizophrenic voice of them all. Nothing like somber low-pitch HoT dialogue interrupted by jovial “EAT MY DUST”.

I just randomly stopped to clear out my inventory and heard the first exchange that made me laugh out loud.

Revenant feels unfinished.

in Revenant

Posted by: Ariurotl.3718

Ariurotl.3718

ANet abandoned underwater content in general, so that’s not a Revenant-specific issue. Besides, ele also has only one underwater weapon.

There are only 3 utilities per legend because you have access to twice the number of heals/utilities/elites at any given time, so that also doesn’t have anything to do with Rev being “unfinished”.

A whole bunch of Rev weapon skills have very short cooldowns that would be considered way OP without the energy cost.

Revenant is clunky and doesn’t seem to have any sort of defining philosophy, but I don’t consider it “unfinished”. It is, however, rather half-baked.

Quaggans, Where are the adults?

in Living World

Posted by: Ariurotl.3718

Ariurotl.3718

the quaggan lacks every sign of evolutionary advantage, and apparantly it’s abaility to go feral is it’s only redeeming trait to survive as a species.. which is offset by the fact that quaggans don’t wanna breed with feral quaggans… which leaves me with the question.. how has this species survived until now.. the walking blobs of bait for nature

By having no natural predators until the krait arrived. Same as the dodo, the kakapo and a whole bunch of other real species, both extinct and currently surviving only by being protected by humans. Believe it or not, quaggans make perfect sense.

A dev threw away a scribble of a 3 year old girl who didnt know how the world worked, then a spanish cleaning lady found it and accidentally put it on the approved races pile

What do you mean? Quaggans are more or less an accurate depiction of a species becoming endangered due to biocenosis shift caused by emergence of a new predator. They’re pretty much a fantasy take on Steller’s sea cow before it went extinct.

Also the thingy that shows where the events are (event tracker i guess?) is showing events where there aren’t any and chasing events over the specific map is not fun.

There are events there. You have to stand on that spot and use the Rift Stabilizer to make a rift appear. Stabilize it and that’s +1 completed event.

The only exception to that is Divinity’s Reach. There are phantom events there that you can’t do.

Remove Armor Weight Restrictions!

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ariurotl.3718

Ariurotl.3718

If either of the two pillars:

a. weight restrictions, and
b. lack of revealing heavy armor

falls, we’ll go from running with hordes of mostly strippers to hordes of pretty much exclusively strippers. That’s pretty much the only thing that keeps me from supporting either of those ideas. Nothing wrong with some skin, I’m not a prude, but it’s all a bit too much even right now. Whenever I’m zerging with people, I feel like I’ve been recruited in a turf war between rival brothels. I can almost smell the cheap perfume!

Is this a new trend?

in Living World

Posted by: Ariurotl.3718

Ariurotl.3718

No this is a continuation of Anets disrespect for the people who play their game. It’s just more apparent now. Their contempt for the people who pay their wages grows exponentially.

I don’t normally call out people like this, but I looked at your post history and it’s over three years of literally nothing but complaints and dissatisfaction. You don’t have to play this game. You really don’t. Why subject yourself to something you find so deeply unsatisfying on every level… for over three years?

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Ariurotl.3718

Ariurotl.3718

Just for the fun of it (and ignoring the fact that they’re just colored like orcas), from a biological perspective most fish and other marine animals who live in the upper part of the body of water have the upper half of their bodies dark-colored, and the lower half – light-colored or white. That is something they have evolved in order to hide from predators. When a predator (such as a fishing bird) looks down on the fish, it’s difficult to spot because the upper half is dark like the water. When a predator looks up on the same fish during the day, it’s also difficult to spot because the bottom half is light-colored amid the sunlight illuminating the water.

We know that regular quaggans used to live deep in the water until krait displaced them (let’s just ignore the fact that they appear to be mammals and mammals can’t breathe in water like fish), then judging by the coloration we can theorize that Bitterfrost quaggans live in shallow waters, and therefore possess the coloration that makes them more difficult to spot.

Too many items clogging the inventory is a definite con. Also, after Rising Flames I was hopeful that you’d once again allow us to complete only some of the achievements of our choice in order to get the big meta-achievement. Instead we’re back to “complete them all” system. I’m sure some power players would prefer it that way, but I don’t.
