I find this quite odd. There are numerous stable/featureful free and paid-for Forum packages/software. Reinventing the wheel can be fun at times I suppose … but the wheel should probably still be round and actually roll.

Then again, I guess all the square-wheels need some place to go, wish it was somewhere else though.

LOL. Good points well made.

So I'm a fresh 80 Ranger, recommended gear?

in Ranger

Personally I went for the exotic karma armour, Rubicon armor of Lyssa in particular because the stats seemed quite balanced and the Superior Rune of Lyssa has a really cool effect.

I’m using a Mystic Crescent (made in Mystic Forge) for a shortbow and a Knight’s Pearl Stinger of Force that I crafted as a longbow.

Hope that is useful :-)

Ascended Gear - please don't force gear grind

in Suggestions

Posted by: Combatter.5123

Combatter.5123

OK so I understand that there are always going to be hardcore players who want to be constantly grinding for better gear. But I’m concerned that the ‘ascended’ entry in the table on http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Item#Quality now says that they will be 175% better than white gear .. whereas exotic is 165%.

It used to be ArenaNet’s policy that it would not be necessary to ‘grind’ or spend huge amounts of time to get the gear with the top stats. Instead, the gear with the best appearance would be the time sink. But now you seem to have changed your policy.

Also another point is that I actually do not want ascended gear because I’d rather have the flexibility to add/change runes/sigils/etc. But if my weapons and armour will be weaker than exotic gear, surely I will not get a place in a party for high-difficulty content unless I have (and can ping) ascended gear.

I’m worried. :-S

Weapon Previews

An option to preview weapons in a ready/combat state would be good. It would also be great if there weren’t so many problems with clipping between armour and weapons in the first place

PVE Monster /=/ Lackluster Endgame

I haven’t reached endgame with my lvl 80 ranger yet but I feel that based on what others have said, perhaps I should go slowly to give Anet time to make some changes

Serpent's Strike & Stalker's Strike

in Ranger

Posted by: Combatter.5123

Combatter.5123

Just make it inflict stun for 5 secs instead!

Hahaha.. no :P
.

I guess those 2 can combo skill finishing.

Serpent strike : got venom6sec.
If Serpent strike still active condition and next Atk is “Stalker strike”
victim will got more poison10sec and add weakness to target.

or

Stalker strike : got venom 10sec.
If Stalker strike still active condition and next atk is “Serpent strike”
victim will got more posion6sec and add cripple.

And b good if can combo with another weapon and pet…

This could be an interesting idea. If the foe is already poisoned, add a new condition as well as extending poison

Serpent's Strike & Stalker's Strike

Combatter.5123

OK I see your point but I think it would be more interesting if Stalker’s Strike inflicted Vulnerability/Weakness or something other than Poison. As it is, they are just too similar

These skills are very similar and imo it’s kinda dull when you have sword main hand and dagger off-hand because of how similar they are.

What do others think?

I believe that the Wintersday event ends at 6pm GMT today (Thurs 3rd Jan). Do the ugly clothes collectors leave at this time or will they be sticking around a while longer?

Town clothes improvement

in Suggestions

Posted by: Combatter.5123

Combatter.5123

Town clothes are a nice mechanic but I feel that more could be done to make it easier for a player to show them off. I suggest an option in “Game Options” called “Auto-switch to town clothes when entering a town”. This would work exactly as described when entering Lion’s Arch or any of the 5 racial towns.

Cog confusion

Posted by: Combatter.5123

Combatter.5123

I believe the 200 cogs were implemented to get around the problem whereby Diminishing Returns reduced the number of cogs people got from doing the Infinarium runs

Default auto-attack to skill 1

in Suggestions

Posted by: Combatter.5123

Combatter.5123

I notice that sometimes there is no auto attack skill set (e.g. when equipping a weapon type you have not equipped before, when picking up a bundle). Try being the ‘heavy gunner’ type in the PvP snowball fight and you’ll see that every time you take the weapon out, u need to set an auto-attack even if u set one last time u had the weapon out.

Why not set skill 1 as the default auto attack skill?

Cheers.

Why the level-dependent rewards?

Posted by: Combatter.5123

Combatter.5123

Why are some of the rewards for Wintersday activities level-dependent? This seems kinda unfair to those of us who like to take things slowly and aren’t level 80 yet. I just don’t understand why the rewards aren’t independent of level. :-S

Fab event but I’m a bit grumpy that “the Ascent to Madness dungeon will no longer be available” because I haven’t yet had a chance to try it and will not get home from work tomorrow until after 4pm GMT :-(

It’s also a fact that pets with proper names are 25% more efficient because they feel more loved (*)
