Oh neat.. two kicks in the shins. First no stress test access regardless spending estimated 2000 bucks for gem cards and playing the game since 2 years almost everday and now people running arround with the armor i wait for since the first rytlock teaser picture popped up with the promise of a good looking and top quality charr armor for once and i have no way to get it whatsoever…and yes im salty…my touch alone could petrify…
heh.. id buy more skins if there would be more skins to buy…only thing i dont own (skin related) from the gem store are the stupid wings (i hate wings) and the job-o-tron… but only cause i got no char where this one would fit. I also own none of the RNG box weapons past the torment weapons cause everything we got after that was really not my personal taste..but i got 6 tickets ready just in case..so a-net make your move.
why cant we have charr stuff in that (visual) quality all the time…
Well i didnt play the beta but to me the rev looks like 2 moba chars piggybacking and sharing the same life bar and weapons rather then an mmorpg class. Forces 2 skillsets onto you with no way to customise em…cept to arrange them in an order. So far it looks to me like the outfit version of the classes…surpising that the class even got traits you can change..
I love the concept, hate the execution. Having the ability to swap utilities instead of weapons, it’s so mechanics based. Which, it shouldn’t be.
Plus the resource makes little sense and the only time I find it running low was spamming skills I find weak to begin with.
The way I would put it, imagine playing Guardian, but instead of having a second weapon set, you have a second utility set. Sounds interesting, looks interesting but playing it is so boring. Nothing changes how you play, rather, just more tools to counter and recover.
heh.. if i would have anything to say in the matter there would be an “empty” legend that you can put together yourself from a smaller pool of skills and just dont get any energy to start out when using it…not even the 50% you get usually. That way you would have atleast something to say in your char´s playstyle. 6\6 into 2 legends you pick\remaining 2 whevever is gonna be the one and only build for the class…i mean what else you gonna do? Cant pick your skills, only complete sets and only 1 weapon set…eh.. i stay at my engi.. there i have atleast a say in the matter what kits i want to use together and i can swap out my potions with gadgets if i wanna. Though im not gonna lie the class got an amazing visual appeal to me.. i kittening love the design and the idea…but if i wanna play a moba char i gonna play LOL or something like that and not an mmorpg.

Give the Searing Cauldron to the Flame Legion. Bam.
well the question is, do they know how to use it without the help of the Titans
in the personal story a searing cauldron gets used in orr…seems to work just fine without titans..
they datamined a whole set of these
also for wood and herbs… and they will all be mine. Freaky that my gathering tools look more like engi stuff then my actual engi stuff… huh..
Might be testing for Heart of Thorns
they got an own server for that set up as far as i know
eh…just got a straight up kick as i was fighting the trio for the daily..oh well…should go eat something anyways so yea..thx i guess gw for reminding me
ah good then its not just me.
so yea.. not me then.. regardless of putting a fortune into gems :\ oh well whatever…
^ shield seems to heal and remove conditions and most likely block cause yea.. shields sorta do that i guess. Im actually really curios about the shield.
Yeah, it seems that one skill has aoe heal+condi removal. But we cant say a kitten about second ability. It might as well be some dps move. Btw dagger seems to have a block with counter ability just like staff
speaking off.. that thing got extremely short range, gotta be a melee weapon (or its still placeholder skills and stats dunno)
that’s what i thought as well, given its auto has a whirl finisher.
well the auto attack chain looks to me like some fast staff play…i mean kittens in the chain and 2 seconds for the whole chain…and the rest of the skills look to me like the staff is meant to keep the enemie close and handicap him\her in many ways to return the favor of the face massage with retailiation, the hourglass that most likely is the slow condition and a pulse taunt that also reduces the damage by 25% and gives the rev regen to balance out incoming damage a little…and a knockback when you are done with face bashing…yea that really looks like an interresting weapon..just the cooldowns of 4 and 5 are too high imo…oh well lets see…rev got the legends too afterall

Braham= smart like a stick of butter and a hipster with mommy issues
Cant explain it..i dont like him at all. I might not like emo eir either..but im sure if she really is his mom she is partly that way cause her son is a breadstick with hulk body. His armor is cool though.
Rox= the doormat of the blood legion and winner of the anime eye contest 2015.
Seriosly? We got cubs in the citadel that are more convincing in selling me that they are soldiers. Also shortbow?… Didnt she get the patch notes about the LB buff? Also why didnt she get new armor as she was introduced? Like a stylish, for charr designed ranger armor. Nope just a quiver and bow..and the quiver floats like a mile behind your back as charr, thanks a-net and thanks obama.
Taimi= professor x as chibi with a mech suit and child traits…and no telepathy. Got a feeling she is gonna be the deus ex machina…like she already was with the WP system.
She is cute… but i got my eyes on her…not gonna pull the deus ex machina on my watch. I like the concept a lot..but so far we didnt get too much of her..cept some deus ex stuff.
Kashmeer= i remember the “by odgens hammer what savings” guy better then her
Im serios, i needed to go look how her name is. Bland, boring..but i guess she got that pink\gold staff with the cool effect..and is a mesmer i guess…and wears something white…uhh… yea…and was a royal or something hell i dunno.
Majory= Eh.. i guess she is cool but she was cooler as they introduced her then she is now. She was more interresting…cant really describe it.
a random risen mage in orr as i was on my way with my first char to the arah dungeon
Little things you would love to see in HOT
in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns
Posted by: Basaltface.2786
-A medium helmet that either doesnt take my hair away or cover the entire length of a charr neck, isnt a bandit style face mask , doesnt clip with charr necks and fits the engineer theme AND looks good on charr
-A SIMPLE dagger and sword in the style of belinda´s greatsword…basically something nice looking that looks atleast like it should be sharp and doesnt drown in particle effects…or burns for that matter
- a few QoL additions to the looting with stuff like opening all bags of a stack, using complete stacks of items and id actually like to seperate my bags into individual windows and use for example 1 bag to make myself a “quickslot” bag i can put into the corner of my screen for food, potions and wetstones and stuff like that…or spare weapons or whatever.
- a bank tab similar to the material tabs for runes and sigils and a way to put acquired skins into the skin collection and store them for later uses rather then “wasting” an inventory or bank slot for them.
- a guild banner toy that can be used in wvw
- a fix for charr backpieces to have them closer to the back cause they float extremely
- weapon and armor skins that take classes into consideration with the design rather then some lukewarm “eh” designs that might look very nice but dont scream to be made for a class.
- a mordremutt mini…and i usually dont give a darn about minies..but this one i NEED to have
- a guitar related instrument
…well thats it for my “small” things
(edited by Basaltface.2786)
eh… i bought it as soon as i saw all the narrow paths and the shield generator…10\10 will play
first they nerf my darn might, then they nerf the little bit of stability i got big time and make it now pretty much useless (3 stacks for 4 seconds all 30 seconds) and now they nerf even more of my kittening stats and cant even be bothered to tell me beforehand… seriosly a-net i really slowly got enough of that kitten… atleast write something in the patchnotes if you cant be bothered to tell us a week before you nerf what you nerf, why you nerf it and stuff…might be somewhat helpfull.. just sayin
heh seems the shield is gonna be awefully usefull…and it also seems i need some pretty shield skins :\
The leaked Chinese patch notes mention Shadow weapons. If it’s the same weapon as from GW1, I’ll be very pleased. The sword in particular. Though I’m interested to see how they handle the staff and hammer.
now thats a set i can get behind, sharp looking blades
if engi kits count then elixir gun 4…if not then rifle 5 on engi
While we are at it.. A rune and sigil tab too please
1. When you see half a zerg getting feared of the edge in EotM and you where the cause
of said fear
2. Everytime a new outfit hits the gem store and you just want that one part of it
3. Everytime i take an ele down on in wvw on my engi (yea.. got some rival issues with eles and i dunno why)
4. Roaming arround and seeing a zerg heading your direction thats not your colour
5.If you find an enemie roamer and he runs away but you really want that head on your platter
Bump! must stay on first page! Must be fixed!
And I agree Grenade #1 skill must be fixed too!
uh…whats wrong with nade #1?
i want a grilled cow leg hammer….and im not even joking
hehe now thats where you are wrong man… you DONT need to buy gems with real money. You can…sure but you also can convert your ingame gold to gems if you want anything from the store. The gem store got a lot of cosmetic stuff and convenient items but nothing from there is needed to get the full game experience. Boosters do what guild banners do, gathering tools can be bought with the same “stats” on almost every vendor in game, bank access is in every city etc…etc..
Seriosly…dont worry, those items are only convenience items, cosmetics and toys. To own them doesnt give you any advantage
yea dont worry.. you can colour it. Saw a pic of a blue sylvari wearing the armor with blue “chest gem” and blindfold sign..and cloth stuff but ill be kitten ed if i can find the pic again…was on a HoT news post
kinda weird… thought outfits are so convinient…huh…
well.. its not like i like my horns as a charr player…well i think i could replace the headge-…OH RIGHT…never kittening mind. Whatever.. its an outfit…dont care
Its Engineer that fires from the hip, not Charr. Even the basic attack is called “Hip Shot”.
Pretty sure Charr Warriors get that normal shoulder fire animation, though I don’t have a Warrior so I can’t be 100% sure.
yeah.. wars aim along the barrel with their rifle while engineers use it more like a shotgun (especially looks funny if you use the hunter… 360 noscope ftw). Only elixir H is aimed…for some reason
the tengu are just from the stronghold pvp mode…same for the skritt that carries a bomb the size of a wrecking ball arround
well.. i already know my potential favourite…if HoT doesnt bring something in that i like more of course. The crossing with its doofy dongly lantern…
They just release and we’re already getting people complaining about them? I’m honestly kind of surprised. But, anyway, Azure said it best up there. Those are your best options as of now, but if you have a suggestion, lay it out constructively and tell us how it would work! That way, we can all pitch in and make the suggestion better
Well.. they came basically out of nowhere and brought something to the game that reminds people of mmos they either left and\or despise (like for me it reminds me of aion what i happen to hate), totally clashes with their sence of fashion or just really clutter the screen or clip right into your char…whats something i cant stand. Not sure how to describe it… but i do tend to have some sort of “respect distance” between my char and others if i can help it like in boss trains, standing arround a bank or merchant or just walking arround some char rather then through and so on..i guess you get the idea. Since the wings are in the game i usually got 1 or 2 pairs right in my face and its really annoying. I mean i wont judge.. tastes differ and everybody should do what they want but it sure is annoying to have them always in your face while not even wearing or owning the skin yourself, especially if they arent your taste at all. I surely see where people are coming from if they ask to have a way to hide them. How to fix it? Heck i dont know.. but i dont expect any “fix” with that everybody would be happy anyways so i gonna swallow it…
I’m hoping for a selection of 1980’s fluro colors so we can really make eyes bleed.
with our luck this might happen someday…oh well whoever got em.. have fun with em
Why oh why can’t we just have some nice capes?
cause before that we gonna get every darn wing shape and colour combination on this planet… and other planets… im calling it
Nice, I can’t wait to use them on my shield/kit engineer!
Oh, wait…
I wonder how many engs actually bought it
not me… thats for sure
Here’s something for everyone to chew on, and a question for you. This is just an example and in no way reflects reality, but, consider it might take them a week to design an outfit. Now take that week and multiply 50 fold to design an armor set, that gives you some idea of the complexity involved in making an armor set vs an outfit. Now the question, would those of you wanting armor skins instead be willing to pay 3000 gems for an armor skin vs 800 for an outfit?
For those that think it’s just a bit more work to make an armor set vs an outfit, you’re in fantasy land, it’s a lot more complex than you think and takes a considerable amount of addition time, resources and money…all of which come out of the same budge so that would reduce the amount of money for some other area of development.
i would pay even 10.000 gems to get an actual useable armor instead of an outfit…
can’t speak for everyone with that ofcbut…
outfits already hide the helmet and you can clearly see different designed pieces for shoulder and gloves for most outfits…. they just have to separate them into actual armorpieces
i dont really believe that it takes 50x as long as creating the outfit itsselfclipping issues are NO PROBLEM
every existing armor clips… the nice thing is to search and find good fitting looks!
10.000 gems might be a bit overkill… but id gladly pay more to have a functioning armorset composed of skins aswell… if its “top notch” quality and goes my direction of taste id go up to 1200 easily… heck id pay that much just to have the darn facepaint of the mad prince and the “mask” of the cook outfit (at charr its a mask with iron cage arround the mouth and its literally the best looking non metallic helmet for charr up to this day in the game). Sometime i might get bored of it (like it happened to me a lot and will surely happen in the future again) and i wanna swap out parts of it and with a functioning armor set i can actually do that…yea mind blown lol.
there is nothing wrong with having outfits here and there… specially holiday themed stuff and some noble attires to have something into that direction for every weight class, there never was anything wrong with that. I mean we had town clothes earlier that got cursed to live on as tonics and be useless and now we get them basically replaced with outfits… but there comes a point where its enough. I came to the game with many reasons… and one of them is end game based on visuals rather then gear grind…so yea.. how about i get some more darn end game where i can put my look together with new parts and more then 4 colour slots like before. Since 1 year we barely got any new parts. Sure… there where the pvp armors and the caprax ones…aswell their colour locked clones i “semi ignore” cause they are technically the same deal…just baby blue and glowy aswell some weightless pieces…so yea…
In a game where visuals ARE end game and that made it soooo much more convinient to change your look by putting the charges you need to do so into your darn wallet AND making the wardrobe displaying every available skin you can use as soon as you click onto the part you wanna change i would expect that the devs would milk this feature till the cows come home. They now even display every darn colour available in the game there now to make it even more simple and convinient to mix and match and match the colours of the pieces.. that many times got different shades. So yea… then why in everything thats good and evil they dont shower people with skins at atleast every 2nd gem store update with atleast 1 new skin pack for atleast 1 weight class?
Armors designed for classes in mind, “crazy” stuff, evil, angelic, stuff designed in the way one of the 5 races would design it, stupid hats.. EVERYTHING and that in bulk. People would buy it…trust me on that. But nope.. outfits is the way now…look like everybody else and use 4 colour slots (3 at the balthasar armor btw…so have fun) only to drive it in…like in a game that uses sprites rather then 3d models (whats not a shot at games like this). Seriosly a-net.. wtf…
People complain that it is an outfit.
But had it been an armour set then people would complain that they had to buy the entire set just to use 1 piece they like, and then have to spend transmutation charges.
since when was this EVER a problem? Its kittening obvios that if its a skin PACK and you only want one skin you will need to have to buy said PACK to get the skin you want. Also transmutation charges are not expensive AND drop till the cows come home in pvp aswell map completion and black lion chests. Also… at outfits i got NO chance in hell to get just the piece i like… and THATS the issue, thats why people complain. There might be pieces they dont like on an outfit and want to replace them with parts they DO like..or the other way arround and use pieces on the look they got right now from the new sets. Also people do complain cause the outfits do bring in so many interresting pieces but right away shove you a middle finger into the nose if you even think about combining them. Id buy the darn armor just for pauldrons and gloves alone for example. Also 4 colour slots? kittening really? Well it looks like at the new armor only can colour its cape anyways..but thats besides the point even if it makes my complains even more valid.
Visuals are end game, means you most likely will spend a lot of time putting your look together and update it with new parts as stuff gets released you find appealing and outfits turn you into a drone that looks like the other guy with the same outfit. If you wanna look like everybody else.. then by all means by my guest… but i refuse to pay 8 bucks for a look thats as flexible as a concrete slap and i will keep complaining about them cause what else do we got besides visual end game atm? Nothing… so atleast that stuff should bring some fresh air. “b-but basalt its for leveling and stuff and i can have 2 looks and stuff” yea and arent 18 of these darn things enough for that? No… gotta have another kittening 3 datamined and one including the anise´s armor thingy that people ask for since game release date. Prepare for the kittenstorm once thats released as an outfit… i personally dont care about the look but man… thats gonna be a wild ride.
Also to release atleast here and there some skin packs BETWEEN this outfit cancer would be too much right? Maybe would keep people somewhat calm cause many (me included) WANT NEW PARTS and they dont get new parts… or rarely. Yea.. 2 new armors per weight class…one beeing a clone of the other with static and blue colour and 3 weightless pieces you cant even colour fully really hold up to the outfit galore recently. Cant speak for everybody but the “play like you want” is becoming more and more “play like we say, dress like we dictate (and if the armor really only can colour the cape also) colour your armor like we tell you to do”
oh how nice.. another outfit… -sigh- come on a-net… why you dont just delete the darn wardrobe and call it a day…you clearly cant be bothered to continune to fill it
First of all, nobody said Outfits had to replace Wardrobes.
And second of All, some of us like having the ability to dress non-plated classes in a armor of plated armor for role playing purposes. I been asking for more heavy armor outfits for this reason. I want to role play a death knight on my Necromancer, and a good looking plated outfit would help get the job done.
I want more plated outfits. Because light armor and med armor classes don’t get plated armor skins in the wardrobe.
18 outfits in the game , 3 more datamined… the past year ONE armor set (3 weight classes) added to the game… yea it totally does not feel like the wardrobe becomes a useless and obsolete tool. If that trend continunes then there wont be any new skins.
People like me would like to have new parts to work into their looks. Id buy the balthazar outfit just for the gloves and pauldrons and a few packs of transmutation changes to put them onto several of my alts while wearing most of the set on another alt i got and most likely would have a good day to shove more money into a-nets face via gem cards cause i might also need a new weapon skin or two to complete a look. But its an outfit… i play charr and its certain that there will be clipping on the buttcape.. so i cant replace it with a skin that doesnt do this, also the helmet is too overkill for my taste and its either no helmet or gtfo…but whatever…
Im also aware that you are on your holy “muh heavy outfits fur muh necruhhhh” quest so no need to justify yourself.. i dont give a darn what your reasons are and you most certainly dont care a single second cause you only want your heavy necro look and everybody else can go and screw themselfes… so lets not even start to argue… hope ya have fun with your outfit
oh how nice.. another outfit… -sigh- come on a-net… why you dont just delete the darn wardrobe and call it a day…you clearly cant be bothered to continune to fill it
Engineer using experimental gyrocopter backpack, not big enough to fly with, but to
Yea thats great idea i always loved gyro mount in WHO:-)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ltrl6XneHBs
…heh.. remember that piece of sh~~ and how amazingly stupid it looked….and also why i loved the WHO engineer i want nice things like that in gw2 too but noooo… closest we got is the slickpack…
But whatever different theme… id actually pay good money to have a flock of birds with strings attached to their legs struggling to keep you in the air as a glider skin…and dont ask me why.. just imagine this on a norn male or charr passing by.
i look at the trailer… at the iron masked engineer bashing mordrem in the face and the only name i see for it is besieger…
well… ill enjoy the last week of gw2 without winged chars arround every corner to its fullest. Aion wars 2 inbound
that rapier looks actually more impressive then most bladed legendaries… and im not even sorry to say it. 10/10 will buy (2 times.. my woman gets one too)
It looks too much like Bonetti’s Rapier for me to be all that impressed.
well.. im a “rapier fanboy” so stuff like this is always eye catching. Also bonetti´s is rather “bland” if put side by side with that new one. Sure.. matter of taste without a doubt but for me this is a gold mine.
Also bonetti´s is based on a 17th century german rapier while the new one is more spanish 17th century with its cup hilt.
Gonna look so epic swinging it around like an Axe !
i take what i can

Am I the only one who actually likes the “hobosacks”? They make me feel like I’m actually lugging around the gear I need to be an engineer.
i also like to carry my gear arround… what i dont like is that the gear i want to see (slickpack) gets replaced by the gear i dont want to see (ugly brown\red sack).
