It could be worse, Nexon could be taking over :/

Fixed

pdavis.8031:

The worse thing that can be announced?

A paid expansion pack.

Actually, a large majority of players are expecting it to be a paid expansion pack. I’m betting around $30.

STOP MAKING IT WORSE >_< I dont want to get held responsible if something kittened up like this actually happens.

but jokes aside.. yea i do belive its an xpac aswell. And 30 bucks? Heh.. i toss that into the gem store almost all 2 weeks (with gem cards) so yea i (personally) see no issue forking over 30 bucks if the content is worth it…and to be fully honest the game itself already gave me more stuff to do then all the games i played (cept skyrim..cause this cant be counted for modding and stuff) combined. 30 bucks? Heh.. sure…anytime.

Desired state:

• Instead of copying either the male or the female design, Asura would logically have their own style of armor.
• This style could be all over the place. It could be cute, it could be frilly, it could be heavy plate, anything. The point is, they aren’t bound to simply copy&paste another race’s specific gender.

So what happens when Human/Sylvari/Norn try to put on armor designed for Asura (or Charr)? Does it magically morph into something more fitting to those races’ cultural styles?

try on the cook outfit. It “magically” does that and it looks good

Imo… if you got a layout of 2 1 handed and 1 2 handed weapons they just should be all visible. But if you got like 2 2 handed or 4 1 handed weapons they just should show the current set you got.

I think what someone said would be cool, just mirror image the unequiped set. that way a greatsword and a staff make an X on the characters back. do the same for hip weapons, wouldn’t look as good, but still be cool while in combat.

Problem could be w/ legendaries and their walking effects

why? Just have the currently choosen weapon set dominate the other with effects and that should be solved right away.

Imo… if you got a layout of 2 1 handed and 1 2 handed weapons they just should be all visible. But if you got like 2 2 handed or 4 1 handed weapons they just should show the current set you got.

well one can dream about citadel metal styled, with spinny gears and pistons working engineer thingies. Thats sorta what i came for to play in the first place..but oh well. Back to dreaming… and hoping some day a-net sells new styles for skills.

^
whats the funny thing is that NPCs get stuff that FITS the darn race…sure.. frumpy but with the small detail THAT IT kittenING FITS. Id kill to have that blue lioncloth with the pouches as a proper armor skin, heck even take it so far and take the mesh and update the textures with some designs or that hood…It respects horns AND ears.. Ugh…

there gaile… that shouldnt be that hard to fix i assume\hope. This is extremely bothersome, almost every backpiece does this…and i use a rather bulky body build (most likely the most bulky you can use for charr females). There are way worse examples…but i hope i get one of my “complaint” points across with this. It would be really nice if that could get some attention

gaile… if you really do love charr\asura over at a-net… please tell your armor designers to add tail holes and horns to “charrmor” and fix that floating backpiece “issue”. Also the same for asuran ears. Its really mood draining to need to skip out on 80% of the helmets cause they take the horns away and having for example bottoms that look like this on charr:

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/c/c6/Aurora_armor_charr_both_front.jpg

while looking like this on humans :

http://www.gw2armor.com/human/male/karma/light/front.jpg

Im sure its not easy to make armors for 5 races… but please dont forget that you got 5 races played by people who most likely wanna have pretty chars regardless of race and gender. Also many people do pay money for gems and eventually for skins (like i do) and its sorta sad if a gem store product that costs me equally as charr player is bout 50% worse in quality then it is on human models. Dont get me wrong.. this isnt a rant, its more of a… request, but please give all races\genders equal love at armors, cause afterall we all want to look good, its end game afterall.

Imo scarlet was a lot of fun… cause she was seriosly stereotypical “muahahaha” batkitten insane…rather then the current sylvari angst. I mean just look at her machines. Who else builds a giant airship with a darn drill or the piles of gears and green zappy stuff we tend to call twisted watchworks…and needless to say the alliances between dredge and the flame legion and krait with nightmare court. I seriosly miss all that insanity…

Basaltface.2786:

yea… cause it just would make too much sence to make armor skins to make a pretty and unique char in a game where visuals are pretty much end game…lets just make more outfits so that all sorta look the same and call it a day…

I hope you enjoy having to buy the same armor set 3 times at 800 gems apiece. Because that’s what this would entail (or else restricting it to a single armor weight, like all the other armor sets).

well maybe i do like to have SOME line between heavy, medium and light armor and some personality appearance wise for the classes who fall in said armor weights. If you wanna look like everybody else then have at you… i however want skins and i WOULD be gladly paying 800 gems per skin pack cause then i can combine it however i please and dye it however i please. 4 Colour slots and no way to combine the pieces with others isnt worth my money.

yea… cause it just would make too much sence to make armor skins to make a pretty and unique char in a game where visuals are pretty much end game…lets just make more outfits so that all sorta look the same and call it a day…

Well my personal demented fantasy is just finding him somewhere in the middle of an airship crashside impaled on a sharp piece of metal with an expression of terror frozen on his face.

Another option id settle with is a 1 vs 1, face to face fight with him as he got corrupted and getting his sword as a trophy… cause im still sour he got a sword to be the epic hero and i didnt get kitten. I dont even like the sword, im not even a darn sylvari or even can use the sword on my main but i did the darn work and annoyed zhaitan to death with fireworks so i deserve that darn sword.

And a-net.. if you let him die DONT let him die a martyr to save my behind…cause this is not acceptable

Devata.6589:

I vote for putting all the items suggested here the bing put into the game itself to be obtained in fun ways. Rewards for ‘quest’, drops from mobs, drops from dungeon bosses and so on. You know, use it to make the game better in stead of added more junk to the cash0shop not having it in the game and making it yet another grind to get any of these things.

The cash-shop focus and so putting all that sort of items in the cash-shop in stead of in the game is the main problem of this game.

thing is… as good as that sounds the devs gotta get income to keep the content coming and since there isnt a monthly sub there needs to be something to loosen the money from wallets…aka the gem store exclusive items cause new copies of the game certainly dont cut it fully. With the price for the copy of the game you got more then you paid for…compared to other games with the same or similar price tag in terms of content, playtime and basically free content…so if you pretty much want to be a “freeloader” (whats totally not a wrong thing, i just lack any other word to describe it so dont take it the wrong way please ) on the gem store with converting your in game gold to gems then ya should need to grind atleast. Nothing on the gem store is P2W and you technically dont need any of the items to be equal to other people. Boosters you can get from banners, harvesting tools you can buy from every vendor, salvage kits you get from any vendor aswell. Skins, makeover kits and other stuff like this dont make your char stronger then others so you technically dont need em. Dont wanna fork over some bucks for a gem card? Totally alright.. but atleast grind a little

what id want…hmmm…

- New skills
- New weapons for the classes
- Opening up more ways to play the current professions with new traits
- Hobosack fix (check engi forum if ya dont know wtf that might be)
- A magnet in the back of charrs to attract the backpiece to actually connect to the
back instead of hovering a meter behind em
- Armors that are visually designed for a specific class
- One or two more rustical ticket weapon sets (think belindas blade´s direction)
- Rytlocks new armor (seriosly.. there will be blood if i dont get it soon)
- A new load of named exotics with new skins
- Trophy type armors and weapons specific to enemies in design
- More respect for charr and asura armor
- One or two new dungeons using the fresh mechanics we got with the SW bosses
- More different enemies to get mauled by
- Raid content on teq scale
- More surface area to crawl arround on, stick noses into corners and explore
- Raid like champions on said areas (like the vine wrath, thats a perfect example)
- Wallet expansion to store stuff like crests, geodes and upcoming currencies
- Story content not focused purely on sylvari angst once in a while
- Guild content
- Lore dump till the cows come home (oil me up with it)
- Expansion on lore of other races besides sylvari for a change
- maybe a new profession… but i could survive without it
- Build templates
- Something to skip\turn off the NPE
- A bag of nice things for WvW
- Bob the builder invading LA and fixing it, the current builders suck

none.. cause even if with a miracle they actually do add them… i dont wanna see how the armor looks. Charr armor is already borderline insulting (if compared to other races) and tengu and charr do share the fact that they are rather far away from human anatomy and we see how wonderfull the charr get treated if it comes to armor. No tail holes 90% of the time, no fitting helmets that respect the headshape, barely any armor that reflects the charr culture..(ya know the fact they are industrial levels of advancement) what makes you think tengu get it better and so on. Given that tengu got tail feathers like a charr got a tail, their heads are longer then human like heads like charr got and the “lol dont care” attitude of a-net if it comes to anything but human (and human like) armors i really dont wanna have em. Rather no tengu then dissapointing ones. Also.. if they add em.. they need to refit aaaaaaall the armor in game to go with them… so yea.. sorry for dream crushing but im 99% sure there wont be any tengu. Maybe another humaniod race.. but surely nothing “beastly”.

Basaltface.2786:

well.. seems now i NEED to run a stupid zerker build to balance out the loss i balanced out with might before…delightfull -_-

Welcome to my world, although I had to go zerker to balance out the april 15th nerf, which was to balance zerker. I couldn’t care less about pve but unfortunately these changes also applied to wvw.

Edit: Oh, and once you learn to survive with zerker in wvw pve is a breeze.

well i ran a “speudo” build with mixed stats, runes of strength and stuff to balance my char out how i need her. Tanky as all hell and decent damage, not top damage.. but more then enough for me. I dislike meta stuff..and now i am condemned to join it. Thanks a-net…

well.. seems now i NEED to run a stupid zerker build to balance out the loss i balanced out with might before…delightfull -_-

Why i dont like it? Cause its extremely boring. 3 points… take em over.. stand on them, wait. Defend them… and thats it..cept for…what..like 2 maps where you got a form of “side task” to the standing on a cyrcle? Almost everybody runs a meta build with zero creativity and the meta builds only change when the next patch notes come in. Dont even try to be creative and make up your own build.. cause ya aint getting anywhere. I am also almost expected to do a certain thing and ONLY that certain thing if i play a class and guess what… if i sorta do whats expected i get kittened at by the other team.
“why dont you use turrets as engi?” “kittening turret engineer, gtfo my game” Also 90% of the balance changes are arround PVP and make my PVE playtime less enjoyable thanks to countless nerfing cause a trait\skill\tactic ended up in a pvp meta build and everybody screamed bloody murder cause too many people started to use the tactic. I did pvp once.. to get that flaming backpiece for my ele and god shoot me.. never again…cept there happens to be an item i like and even then i gonna consider it twice.

How to fix it? I dunno.. how about allowing more build options and mixing stats to put more health or attack power or whatever where YOU feel you need it.. cause you cant do that at all in pvp. No wiggle room for anything, might aswell right away put the meta builds into the build editor. Also seperate the darn balancing from pve and wvw 100% finally.

simple.. cause you dont got (visible) boobs and cause no dev can be bothered to put more then minimum effort into charr and asura armor. Remember.. you are 2nd class citizen of tyria… (and if charr\asura are not… then a-net clearly doesnt show it)

I don’t know why you guys even complain when you have to 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 what ever you do in PvE? Except in fractal 50 where you have to Jump, dodge sometimes AND 11111..

You play a guardian or warrior, don’t you?

Eles and engineers can’t do that. And they’re the ones getting nerfed.

that basically sums up my issue with the might nerf…i sorta..kinda depend on might

L Step.8659:

While might’s main problem is in PvP, in which celestial amulet stats should’ve been nerfed first imo, I think they were trying to kill two birds with one stone here, as lowering how much dps players can put out in pve will make the content harder/mechanics more relevant. I realize this won’t effect speed runners much as they will still be good and it just adds a little more time, but in general for people who don’t play meta builds with high knowledge of bosses and stack boons, lowering the overall potential damage for them adds a little bit of a harder time. I realize it probably doesn’t help make things harder, but it also doesn’t harm as much as well adding a few seconds to runs.

why dont make the enemies just hit harder?… Would be the obvios choice…but whatever

I never said I agreed or thought their reasoning was good :P

well rather then crippling people they really just should “de-cripple” or rather said buff the enemies. Its (im pretty sure about it) a lot easier to balance cause enemies dont really use builds or unforseen tactics that surface after a month or 2 of playing. Make that ghost over there (for example) hit 25% harder, if he blocks he gets retailiation and done, maybe some extra health…or other buffs and done. So easy.. but whatever… im not an a-net dev…but man if i would have anything to say somebody would get the belt…just sayin

i guess high damage is just too confusing… oh well there goes 100 gold in runes…

Oh the hyperbole.

Might isn’t destroyed, it’s 15% less effective (give or take). Having a complete might stack is still massively valuable to any group content.

And given how much Might contributes to the typical ‘zerk set-up, it’s maybe a 3-5% loss on high-end damage. Some of the above comments are right; the Might shift hurts defense/healing (and condi in that regard) builds more than damage-optimized builds.

Still, that’s some hefty qq for what amounts to a little damage loss.

thats exactly my issue…

Duke Nukem.6783:

im morally opposed to seeing a giant cat in a dress….

as somebody who exclusive only got female charrs….i double that. What i rather want to see is more love in charr and also asura versions of armors in game rewards and gem store items. The armor got a skirt? Make it a lioncloth and give it a tail hole for charr. The armor got something like a hood or whatever? Ear holes for asura… or re-model the part to fit them and obviosly charr..and not just BS something last minute cause you only can be bothered to drool over the female human version for 90% of your work time. “B-but basalt thats extra work and kitten and i dun wanna” Yea.. and i kittening pay for a fair amount of it…or would even more so i expect equal quality the least….aaaand i went off topic…so i gonna shut up

oh come on… can we have something not made out of plants, not flamboyant, in a full pack of skin contained, fully dyeable for once in a while again on the darn gem store? I sit here on 3000 of these darn gems, bought them all in hope to get something… ANYTHING to work with here and you give me this stupid “armor”? Yea.. right…give me rytlocks (new) one instead kitten …

depends on the class. For classes like war and guard and stuff 5-10 but engi 2..but those gotta be new kits.

…but i like my legs…

Acrisor.8097:

I personally love the uni-sexing of those races. Cutting corners gives designers more time to do something else.

Why design outfits for 10 characters (2 for each race) when you can design for 8 and save time for something else?

if only the quality would be then equal along the stuff… but thats not the topic here..carry on

ditto on teq….and no teq box

Crystal Reid.2481:

The designer behind the Vinewraith was Lisa Davis. You might remember her from such releases such as the Marionette, and Super Adventure Box! (But really, there isn’t just one boss designer on the Living World as all the designers contribute to the encounters in both design, implementation, and feedback. They all deserve cookies.)

yea clearly smells like the marionette (in a good way obviosly)…and i do gotta say that to fight champ that spazzes out with everything it got and dodge the darn death star flower that easily can 1 shot a squishy guy at the same time is quite nice. Also the lane defence is rather funny. 10\10 will fight again (next breach)

a breath of fresh air that us charr dont get the kitten all the time for once… enjoy sylvari.. now ya know how we feel

ZudetGambeous.9573:

Devildoc.6721:

Urosh Uchiha.9732:

Devildoc.6721:

If you did Crucible of Eternity you’ve known for 2 years that Sylvari were actually dragon minions not to be trusted.

Better put all Sylvari to the torch. I’ve been in support of that since oh, LS season 1 when Scarlet was revealed.

Yeah lets burn every race that has at least one evil person in their race (Let’s go with Scarlet being evil, I still have think they will reveal her as someone trying to do good but in a different way) aaaaand the world would be empty.

There’s a big difference here. You are not people. You are dragon minions. You are constructs. You are not born, you are created as an imitation. Knowledge is planted into your head, and you act on it. You do not learn your own perspective and choose your own path, your path is set before you, you are programmed.

The only difference is what knowledge was planted into your head prior to the Dragon’s Awakening was Ventari’s Teachings rather than the instructions of the Dragon.

Now the Dragon is awake, and able to reprogram Sylvari to serve him.

This isn’t a case of a few bad apples. This is the case of all Sylvari being vulnerable to corruption from the Dragon.

Also in other cases, people make conscious CHOICES to be evil but each person of you know ACTUAL people, Asura, Charr, Norn, Human, Tengu, Quaggan, Kodan, Skritt, Largos, even Krait (in their case it’s a cultural difference), each individual makes their own choices, so yes, it’s wrong to judge that entire group of people by the actions of one or a few.

However, Sylvari are not entities of free will and choice, they are constructs, they are programmed with a “wild hunt” which they are compelled to fulfill. Their life isn’t one of making choices, but one of obligation to fulfill their programming.

… and a Dragon can program them however he wishes.

Sort of like how humans were programmed to Zhatains will when they came in contact with him…

Or sort of how Norn’s will’s were programmed when they came in contact with Jormag…

Or sort of like how all Charr were programmed to serve the crystal dragon when they come into contact with the crystals…

So basically you are saying the Slyvari are evil because they have resisted not one, but 5 different dragons influence?

technically they didnt resist anything.. they started out as dragon minions…so yea..

if you mean the floating a mile behind you…then no.. every backpiece does that on charr… yay…quality..

Tao.5096:

Use Superior Rune of Traveler.

Problem solved.

Meanwhile a whole new batch of problems appear. Using these runes waters down many potentially great builds and narrows down the options, at least for the Mesmer.

imo mesmer needs a “mantra of movement” or something for a speed buff. Mantras can be worked into builds easily (imo of course)

10\10 would buy…but only if we get a collin as conductor sitting on the tank engine

Imo there should be a choice…and right away for all other races too, ya know.. new idles and running animations, maybe even gem store for all i care

well… easy for me. As i saw the trailer my grin faded with the second cause i sorta expected a narration by rytlock over…dunno war scenes and pact doing pact stuff and eventually ending a second or 2 of rytlocks side profile either growing a smirk and raising a weapon or something.

I got a “yea wutevar….there have some sylvari and sylvari and sylvari…oh ya there are roots and stuff.. uuuh look here comes dragon radish and uhhh flower thingy”….mergh…

well…till we see whats actually coming on pax… all abord the table train cause nothing is off and all are on
