RIP jetpack prices

It’s about time they murdered all those ridiculous prices. I finally got my Mini Karka without spending 9k gold.

Now they just need to crash the invisible shoe prices which are also long overdue for it.

That’s how I felt when I revisited my hometown where I grew up.

I’ll be sad till condi Thief dual torch Arsonist with Shadow Form for steal happens but for now I can’t fully judge till I play them.
I can however say I’m disappointed to see that they haven’t returned Ricochet for Pistol/Pistol because I’d like to use P/P + Rifle without having terrible aoe or feel like they’re too similar. I rather have 2 viable weapon sets than have Rifle completely replace it.

Necromancer one looks a lot more fun than Reaper to me but not sure how much I like the wraith design. Coulda been a sandy skeleton mage or something with an actual form.

Revenant I am pretty happy with overall. I’m glad another class finally gets SB. I feel like it shoulda got that for it’s base class though since they released Rev with no condi range weapon but I guess this is how they fix it.

Ranger I looked forward to the most but I’m very unsatisfied with how dull the “merger” looked in the video. I love daggers though so can’t complain further than that.

Weaver looks fun~ Tempest was already the best Elite spec, I wonder how this will compare.

Everything else I don’t play as much but they look fine, I’d need to mess around with them to say further.

Light and heavy both need more pants. Medium armor has many pants but needs comfy vests like GW1 Luxon armor and less buttcapes. They make my backside sweaty in the sun. Please don’t give me swampa**.

Anyone know what the heal skill is yet?

Underwater’ll probably just remain unfinished forever.

It’s a shame cuz I love swimming.

Spiders can be cute.

I like the female 1 human hair but males can’t use it.

I sometimes do mine similar IRL just shorter. I want a vine version for Sylvari too. :>

Soulbeast was probably the one I was excited most for but I can’t help but be disappointed that the fusion process is just swirly green smoke. :v
As it is now though it’d still be cool if it worked like a type of Blue Mage class.

They’re each a different mastery so you’ll have them once you gain the mastery xp/points.

Anything else they added to them if they do would be cosmetic.

RIP all the buttons.

I still want a Sylvari male face similar to Trahearne’s.

Luxon style mount wif cannons.

Dunno how she unlocked it at such a low weak level. XD

I’m calling the Lionguard.

Is that your spy account? :v

/me throws a chair in anger.

Minors —-——-
Dead-Eye Mark – this replaces your steal ability, puts a mark on your target and steals an ability from them, ( its like a steal but from range and no porting ) Also all traits that effect steal affect dead-eye mark, (so interrupt, boon strip, etc)

So that includes traits like Serpent’s Touch, Mug, and Hidden Thief as well?

Yes
This pic = traited steal https://dviw3bl0enbyw.cloudfront.net/uploads/forum_attachment/file/240988/DSF1.JPG

Looks odd on my Treebro. Isn’t the right shape.

naturesoul.3578:

To me is pointless to have thief get rifles and not bring back ricochet, it would be a MAJOR slap in the face, and your right they should have brought it back by replacing ankle shot with it, because lets face it ankle shot is weak and useless, and that being Anets excuse was the lamest thing they ever said, pretty much ever. Besides removing ricochet was the reason half the thieves pre HoT stopped being thieves. And rifle for thief should be modeled after an assault rifle so ricochet just makes sense helping make it more ranged AoE.

Can confirm: I feel slapped in the face by the lack of Ricochet.

Borz.7025:

Deadeye does look to be the worst of all the new elites imo. What is this going to do to steal, the class’ main mechanic? You can’t steal with a sniper rifle. C’mon.

Steal still works.. just from range without moving you.. via spoopy shadow magic…
And you can generate stolen items from certain skills, so I guess you just find random booty.

Chapell.1346:

Kneel and Pierces mechanic kills it for me, not all people are aware of said mechanics since Toughness and Armour digit is irrelevant. Maybe i’ll wait for another Canthan theme elite spec, perhaps in February or March after we settle things at Crystal Dessert and comes back to frizzy mountains to explore them floating Sanctuaries; who knows.
It may be to early but we’ll see, hopefully those who can participate in the upcoming beta will change a lot of peoples mind.

What are you talking about? .-. Pierce just makes it hit 5 targets in a line.

inb4 nerd rage @ Shadow Meld, lul
Also love finally getting knockback/launch

sad no ricochet return still tho.

I’m not a big fan of mounts because they ironically end up slow down gameplay and make it tedious. I dislike going through the time consuming summoning animation over and over and getting off and on all the time, games generally have no waypoint systems because they rather we spend years traveling by mount instead, being knocked off of them/having them die is annoying, having to pull them out constantly after every battle is annoying, spending 40 years leveling them and baby sitting them (BDO, ugh) sucks~ and whatever other junk that MMOs are plagued with when it comes to mounts.
Anet always tries to break away from what makes other MMOs suck while they’re all copypasta-ing each other and I find their implementation of mounts here on top of what we already have a lot more interesting so I’m fine with it. Hiding them would be weird, they’d be riding invisible creatures… There’ll probably be a option that ‘genericifies’ them for performance like the option for character models though.

WTB Elonan Sylvari hair/faces :]

At worst it’ll be unfinished on release and make us have to wait for it to become worth the money which HoT became overall only after LS.

I’d be more excited for more than 1 new elite spec per profession being added than I would for a new profession. :]

I hope they announce all the Elite Specs at once instead of dragging it out like the first time. It hurts when they do that, especially when your class is one of the last revealed. c.c

This is beautiful. :o

Ghotistyx.6942:

I don’t think Anet takes personal requests

Maybe if it was an MLG Twitch streamer and/or ESL Pro League player asking it’d be possible but idk if there are any left. ;o I do what I can as a lil’ guy.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/thief/Swap-Revealed-Training-with-Leeching-Venoms/first

I asked for this before. The end result though was me finally just giving up my Venom build I’ve used for ages since nothing was done to make it feel really complete to me. To my playstyle of minimal to no stealth the venom changes became more of a nerf than a buff without this trait swap.

Trinity is a broken outdated system that no one wants, including you. It’s just that denial and fear consumes you.

So now that all classes can look like stereotypical Medium Armor classes with this suffocating outfit can we please get non-coat/non-buttcape armor skins for Medium now? The dude’s (shown below) argument to why they don’t make it on steam made no sense. We don’t need coats as a defining feature on medium armor to tell the difference between classes because outfits delete that aspect from existence. Also icons and animations are enough to tell, which are seen first in PvP anyways. Please can we finally overthrow this stereotype set upon Medium tier classes and finally be able to run freely without trailing heavy loose fabric that gets caught in doors, snagged on bushes, halts butt ventilation, and etc?

Well, Expansion 1 vastly improved with the LS so it feels worth the investment at this point. I was one of the ones upset by the pricing shenanigans but that is all gone now and I’m really looking forward to the next xpan.
Although the LS costing gems makes it harder to get my friends who haven’t played in ages but own HoT to wanna return, unfortunately.

Hope Xpan2 comes with medium armor that doesn’t have buttcapes though. Man, it’s been such a long wait for something so simple…

I always have a tug of war between Necro, Ele and Ranger mainly.

Silverwaste is just well designed. So much going on at same time in such a tight radius.

Danikat.8537:

Although it usually makes sense the scaling effect can be pretty hilarious in some situations. Below is a screenshot of my charr standing next to a chicken, and then holding the exact same bird. I guess whoever programmed bundles didn’t think about the fact that some of them might end up being animals.

I’ve also seen people use skills like the rangers warhorn one on giant enemies specifically for this purpose, because the effect can be pretty crazy.

Lol, that pic makes the scaling issue with Charr Engi Bomb Kit worth it.

I like them in storage. Thanks Anet

I like the HMS Divinity more. Water themed stuff is my favorite and the thing’s literally a giant Cannon. I been wanting a Cannon since I saw the shoulder mounted ones the Aetherblade use. ;3

Still prefer Torch Arsonist spec though or a dual wield weapon in general.

I consider the medium armor offensive. It means you acknowledge we all hate coats and wanna rub it in our faces like a mean kid. :s

At least I won’t have to farm for it so with that I thank you. <3

OriOri.8724:

If you are talking about that leak on Reddit, it could all be faked. At least wait until Episode 5 drops to see if it got its predictions about this episode correct or not

Considering it was the only leak not deleted it’s fake.

If armor gets it then weapons should as well.

Heavy: It’s decent although I don’t like the helmet covering the eyes. I personally prefer heavy armor to have some type of form to the body detail but few armor does that already. Koda armor, Glorious, Dark Templar, Triumphant for example.. The skirt doesn’t look as annoying as the rest from what I see.

Medium: Hate it. Looks like Whisper armor reskinned, another unoriginal Coat. They said they avoided clipping but I highly doubt it because every coat does on Sylvari in some manner. I personally don’t care for hoods and picked Headband on creation like my GW1 Assassin. Bones lose their beauty after being covered in shiny liquid metal. I also don’t like the Precursor armor of it anyways.

Light: I was never really a big fan of floating shoulders, or floaty things in general, otherwise I’d be wearing the Krytan Medium Shoulder skull that doesn’t attach correctly to my Sylvari thief. Or I wouldn’t be bothered so much by sheathed weapons floating far away from my body because trenchcoat repel them. I’m positive the male version has all the skin parts covered up and will suck, and I’m also not a fan of huge umbrella dresses, especially on males. The belt and dress are just so baggy and hanging there and probably looks stiff in-game moving around.

I don’t like coats but I also don’t care for raids and prefer dungeons so I guess it’s a good thing that I don’t like the armor. Bones are cool cuz Tribal stuff is my favorite but those aren’t bones… maybe Kralkatorrik minion bones… Anyways, yeah.. Coats are a no-go for me. I need something I can move fast in that wont get caught on things.

Where are all the bathrooms?

Greener.6204:

If I had even the slightest belief that Anet was showing an animal in distress, I would agree that a change may be needed. I say this after killing many cows and moas .

That said, I’m willing to accept any story which points to the contrary, as this is a fantasy world. To quote Gnashblade, “I’ve heard of a fish out of water, but this is absurd. Thanks to certain, uh…proprietary advancements in magic, we’ve got a genuine Krytan* bass here that’ll follow you wherever you go.”

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/reel-in-a-mini-floppy-fish-today/

The proprietary advancement in magic is enough of an escape mechanism to put me at easy.

But is it really a Bass cuz Southsun calls it a Tuna. :o

Floppy fish are amazing.

Just a flesh wound.3589:

MoarChaos.8320:

You’re ruining a gag mini people are looking forward to for no reason other then your personal preferences. I want unique minis. I don’t desire a fish swimming though the air, but that’s my personal preference. However, I’m not demanding any changes when I see new minis, because that’s childish. You’re pushing the game in a very bad direction by saying you can’t joke about something like a flopping fish. It just opens all bad doors, such as throwing dementia into the joke at Lake Doric between the father and daughter near the dam. If it’s not there don’t pretend it’s there.

The fish isn’t dying. It’s not real, and it’s animation will always show it being alive. It would be like calling anyone who’s ever fished a monster, because every single fish ever caught throughout history is without air for awhile.

Also what about a robotic fish with the same animations in real life?

No one is demanding changes. I’m pointing out that this animation makes people uncomfortable and since ANet is selling this mini to make money it may not be an appropriate choice. If enough people dislike it then it’s not a successful mini for ANet to sell.

It’s also possible that removing the gasping animation would be sufficient. For me it’s the gasping for air that makes the mini’s animation unpleasant. The flopping, for me, is not a problem and can be left in place.

Fish don’t even breath with lungs so it’s not suffocating. Although if this one did it’d explain how it lives on land. With that in mind the sound it makes could be perfectly normal and comfortable for this type of lifeform.
It’s an appropriate choice for people like me who enjoy floppy fishiez and fish in general, which is why I bought it. I’m actually offended by the complaints toward it. Some people find spiders traumatically terrifying and avoid them in GW2 and there are a lot of spider mini pets. That doesn’t mean Anet should suddenly ban them because of that. You can’t accommodate everyone’s crazy preferences. People nowadays seem to demand the world revolves around theirs at all times.

mtpelion.4562:

You can stand on land for an infinite amount of time without it dying, so we have established that it is immune to death due to exposure to air.

^

Well we already established that it’s not dying. It flops because that’s how fish move on land so I’d like it to continue flopping. <3

I’m surprised how few people are familiar with floppy fish that don’t die on land. There’s quite a handful of them in Pokemon.
