Guild Wars 2

If it feels that way then you haven’t played enough grindy f2p games.

Just alter your perception into finding their sounds enjoyable and you’ll be fine.

The pistol is my favorite, but it’s no match for SAB pistol and it’s pewage.

At least they’re not as bad az Spvp rank up chest currently.

The chest is something much needed for males, unfortunately the girly dress on it makes me sad. As for it being an outfit I can’t just wear the chest only and forced to crossdress to have it at all~ but if it was actual armor, which it already looks like more than any outfit ever has already, it would be light armor and medium would be left out of revealing armor even more-so than it already is.

So it is pretty much the lesser of multiple evils as it is naow unless they made it universal skins which for some reason they never do. They did it for radiant and hellfire up until they ruined it when they added the chest/legs.

Whatever lets my Thief show off his chest isn’t too horrible overall but still~ they can do better. Hopefully it’s a learning process that becomes well rewarded in future.

Arshay Duskbrow.1306:

People seem to be ignoring that the game’s biggest romance is Rytlock/Logan.

(Also Jennah/Anise is a thing.)

The games biggest romance is actually Me and Trehearne, but Anet has to complete their partnership with Bioware to allows us to seduce our allies before they finally add it to LS. Bioware will also include 1000 new microtranactions in every single crevice of the game along with it so hopefully the nude scenes are extra HQ AAA.

Scootabuser.4915:

Wow, the fake buff on exposed weakness, did they not realize that it already works on any condition?

Yeah I noticed that slipup when it was live. I was like wait what, they forgot how the current trait even worked?

They shoulda buffed it by making it do more damage for each condition they have so it can somewhat revive my beloved “Signet of Deadly Corruption” build from GW1

They never answered my AMA I asked about Last Refuge.

Sun.2036:

The balance between male and female characters is not there. We have strong female characters, and that’s great, as well as a good support for the LGBTQ community, but how about the male characters? I would love to see some development, a bit of bromance and maybe even a gay couple amongst the different races.

Females: Eir, Zojja, Caithe, Taimi, Marjory, Kasmeer, Rox, Anise, Jenna, Pale Tree, Faolain, Scarlet and Keil.

Males: Rytlock, Logan, Trahearn, Braham, Canach and Evon.

These are the key characters we have now. I may have missed some but yeah…

There’s a male/male couple in the Sylvari personal story.

It’s never revisited though as they don’t appear again.

It’s not a must have… All three traits are pretty powerful and change the way you play and support team. Considering all the other changes like executioner+panic strike and having another GM on top of that (like hidden killer)~ not having Shadow Reju + Cloaked isn’t much of a big deal.

I been using venoms all the time though nowadays so I still wont be relying on it.

Then my bioluminescent nipples will finally get some air while also giving me more mobility in battle. Enemies wont be able to use grabbing moves on me as easily either or get my coat snagged on a living tree’s fangs that then eats me.

What do you want from us, OP!!!????

Even if it worked, playing without a mouse would horribly kitten you. Not sure how MMO keybinds work nowadays with controllers so dunno how you’d hotkey everything~ still you need dat mouse for movement, especually for pvp~ otherwise Thief forums get more uncalled for QQing cuz people have a bad setup for controls… ;s

Edit: wow I can’t believe that… G word that rhymes with Pimp is censored naow…

Sounds like you’ve been naughty then. :O

Dadnir.5038:

What everyone hate and they could finally get rid of :

Last refuge adept minor

They did not -> disappointment

It made no sense at all to leave it untouched. I swear they have to be trolling on purpose and actually plan on removing it. The stream chat had a pretty negative reaction and they didn’t talk about it at all or answer any of the AMA on it.

You mean Shadow Protector should be reworked since it’s mechanics make no sense. Reju is fine and it doesn’t outperform the other options, actually.

time to kick from guild

ShinjoNaomi.1896:

Would female characters get that option too? :p

They pretty much already do with duelist and human racial armor.

No Fix/Change to Last Refuge? Why does it feel like Anet actually goes out of their way to purposely ignore the most hated trait in the game at this point? I know they like to troll on stream sometimes but that was too much.

Only other thing so far I majorly disliked for Thief was Ricochet and IP not being usable together~ wasn’t really a lot of P/P love overall. The rest was pretty cool though.

I made a fortune selling my leftover cores about a month or so ago. Good old hording.

It is past Felice Grace unless you reeeally want the ini boost at 4pts for Dual Pistols, and despite what some people may think, Pain Response is horrible.

Despite what you may think, Pain Response isn’t horrible. It’s the second best choice in Acro right behind vigorous recovery. I’m also pretty sure acro will get the condi remove on evade, which might fit S/D even better. New standard S/D will probably be 6 0 0 6 6 anyway.

You do know countering my “despiteness” with the same thing just leads to nothing right? You’ve solved nothing. ;/ I’d actually hope they just removed the trait completely for that dodge one.

Diversity is confusing to new players therefore it needs to be removed…

Yeah they are confused and use bad useless traits and builds. Diversity for the sake of diversity isn’t good for any game.

you cant get real diversity with out having options some people dont like. lowering the amount of options does not intrinsicly increase the quality of options.

people are mistakenly linking having less options to having better options. There is no coorelation between number of options, and how good your options are.

It’s not a mistake. Less options available can be more easily balanced, so less options can also be better options.

wait what?
since when taking away options from players is better?

Taking away options nobody ever used is actually making the game better. Also, you are seeing it as them removing options, I see it as them adding more options and removing others. Having 3 trait lines at maximum can easily make new builds and options available.

Apparently much of those “removed options” are actually just being moved to the skill too~ which is one thing that interest me the most as hopefully venoms wont suck anymore without traits because they attach the traits to the skill. All this panic could be for nothing~ this is why they shouldn’t drag out info so much. :P

Time to reroll and join the Sylvari Master Race.

Tank.7821:

Diversity is confusing to new players therefore it needs to be removed…

That’s what it looks like, but what it actually is when you look closer is a lot of traits that can easily be done away with by adding them to the skill itself, and lotsa traits no one uses removed. Until I see a full list of changes I can’t tell if this system is worse or better.

After thinking about it, it’s not so great for PvE either. I would have to map out the world doing ‘skill point’ challenges again with all my alts to get their specialization~ which would become repetitive. I thought they were going to add an entirely new system for specializations~ not rename a current one.

No, not sure how you came up with that drastic conclusion~

If you really want the stats back that you got from Traits you can just change some trinkets around: you should have 1-2 bank boxes full of them by now.

Gaile Gray.6029:

As others have noticed, I play—every day—on my personal account. My goal is to get Dreamer, so I’m farming my little heart out.

Each ArenaNet staff member has a personal play account. This may be a new account created upon joining the team, or a previous account that the team member had before s/he joined the firm. Some team members also have a separate account for official business, such as forum posting. (That’s the one I’m using right now.) A few of us have a third account for playing, but we use that account in such a way that we do not impact the game economy in any way. (This is super helpful for player events, and the “no economic impact” makes it clear we can’t come to an event and hand out precursors. )

I think it’s safe to say that we all love the game!

Nowonder you liked my Dapper Frog pic. :o

This isn’t even close to the catastrophe that a lot of people think it is, but it isn’t the huge boon that the other group thinks it is either. Thieves will be just as good as they always have been (certainly not worse) but it does seem like it kind of kills build diversity. Shadow arts and Acrobatics are pretty much going to be worthless (at least that’s how it seems right now) because it won’t be worth it to invest in them. Just as it isn’t worth the DPS loss to go 6 deep in them right now.

Why would acrobatics be worthless to put points into?

It is past Felice Grace unless you reeeally want the ini boost at 4pts for Dual Pistols, and despite what some people may think, Pain Response is horrible.

What exactly is the MF forge item they’re changing SP to?

Why do you not use the forge? I wasn’t aware people purposely avoided it till recently.

Racial skills would be fun if they were actually useful. Most aren’t compared to the class skills. They could always redesign them as class skills in some manner if they really don’t want racial advantages.

My Questions are all for Thief Specialization;

What is the new Thief specialization and what new weapon does it get? What are it’s weapon skills and new traits/slot skills?

If the new Thief specialization is not Main-Hand Torch Arsonist do you think it’d be a great thing to add after Thief’s 1st new specialization?

Will the new trait system remove or change the Shadow Arts minor trait: Last Refuge?

Will many of the Venom traits for Thief be moved the the Utility skills themselves instead of relying on traits such as Potent and Quick Venoms?

Will there be more traits and playstyle options that focus on Thieves who choose not to use Stealth and prefer pure mobility?

Sounds OP. Not sure if Anet wants to make it easy for players to swap weapons outside their current equipped weapon sets outa combat, since we’re supposed to have only 2.

Unless they finally decide to add 4 active ones to use in combat, which would be interesting. :o

Guys, while those pix are cute, this is a charr thread. You can’t roleplay with kitty cats.

Says you. My friend RP’d a psychic kitty cat that took over people’s brains.

That Glitterboy never knew what hit him.

Sounds like Meowstic, the worlds mightiest pokemon. A Charr with that power would be too much for this world.

Thieves are weak 1v1 except vs shatter mesmers. Even then a dble ranged shatter mesmer can win if he’s not taken by surprise

T raw.4658:

……………… O.O ………

I pretty much had the same WTF reaction…

Thief does best ganking someone who’s unaware, especially ones unaware because they’re already fighting someone. Higher odds of getting burst off and higher chance their CDs will be burned (invuln, block, heals, etc). After that their 1v1 skirmish power is mediocre and risky and often Thief will have to run away and try again. If you’re good enough to pull it off then great, but that is the general power of Thief. In Spvp for example you’re better off understanding you can’t 1v1 and just sticking with jumping people your allys are fighting.

Maybe I can finally use Residual Venom + Venom Share without losing Bountiful Theft now~ or even gain Sleight of Hands ;x Using both Venom GMs just gimps u so hard currently. Even better if they delete some of these Venom traits and apply them to the skill itself.

I wouldn’t go with my hopes high they probably will leave traits that are “the best” in their opinion.

It’s just excessive that I need to use 4-5 traits to make a single utility type skill useful. . Really needs addressed.

GW1 feature returns :O

By sexy you mean cute?

Here’s my Charr

Considering I use a Zerk+Soldier combo on Thief I probably won’t be effected too much since the power, toughness and hp I get from traits will all go to armor~ I lose a bunch of healing power and condi dmg from traits.. I guess I could put on a single ring to regain that~ I guess min/matching with ascended trinkets will be a main aspect since changing armor/weapon stats isn’t really possible, realistically, as it’s a massive amount of gold and inventory space. Not sure whats going to happen with steal and condi duration from traits…

If they want us to craft (because farming drops simply doesnt work) multiple sets of Ascended equipment it’d be nice if we could save builds that bound our Equipment to the UI, because even with max inventory space unlocked + largest bags thats a massive amount of space used up. We can’t even buy more space for it.

sorudo.9054:

and what if i never use the MF, doesn’t that mean they are giving me something completely useless in return for something even less?

There’s no reason to avoid the MF. It’s not even hard to use. Not everything out of it is RNG and from what I seen they didn’t mention how the new mats would be used yet.

Nothing. Just gotta move on, unless they somehow have a system already built that tracks what skills you bought and earned and is able to autorefund them. Which sounds unlikely.

Skillpoints you already have will be converted into somekinda crafting material. Hope it’s useful cuz I have around 2k SP.

I just do the Spvp ones and that’s it. My AP for them capped from just doing that as well.

I’ve gotten 5 boxes from PvP, 0 from PvE including 362 fractals and a buncha Teqs and a few Wurms. Rank 50 Spvp~ most of which was after they added tracks, and 579 WvW~ Makes me wonder why I ever PvE at all for them. I never even see other people get them from Teq when I do it so that means a full zone of how many people..? Each of those people are 1 drop chance- that’s hundreds/thousands of Teq runs with no drop in a single day meaning you may literally never get one.

My PVP ones were:

Knight and Apothecary Armor
Cleric, Apothecary, and Knight Weapon.

Basically used them for Style Collection.

I want my Sylvari T0 Racial to be armor skins though. THEY CANT CLIP WITH ANYTHING! uggggh@*# flips a table

Uninstall.

I mean… make hundreds of Mawdreys?

You only think that way because your’re a human irl and being biased. If you were a cat, tree or rodent IRL your brain would be attracted to it differently.

No, I’m a furry.

Still classifies as a human.

Can’t have enough fancy outfits, you can make a hobo armor combo or just roll an engi and equip a kit (ha ha ha).

Beach outfits… won’t come i guess.

How dare you.

Yeah its kinda annoying when games just keep reskinning humans and elves~ hell like Neverwinter added new races and they were just different versions of elves that looked the same but different skin colors. It’s basically just making up fantasy versions of white, african, asian and etc~ very vague, uncreative versions of races.

Norn are abnormally large though and can shapeshift so they’re more unique than that but it doesn’t keep them from being my least liked race, as I deleted mine after getting story chivoz n it’s only race I don’t have. I can’t make a male that isn’t a disproportionate fatty, yet somehow females have normal mega supermodel forms o.O It’s a shame cuz I like werewolvez. ;s
