Do you know why they don’t have it? because of 4 attunements so you swap between 4 sets of skills instead which is an bigger advantage than those with weapon swap.

Obviously not since they are still the least used PvP class be a huge margin.

Thats because people don’t know what they’re doing lol. Have you seen a good ele play? They’re usually able to, pretty easily, adapt to a bunker position with a roamer build if they need to.

You’re opinion, and frankly a biased elitist one at that. Who are you to decide how people can and cannot play? I PvP an Ele, and I do alright; neither my success in PvP nor yours changes how unfulfilling of a class they are to most of the playerbase.

The FACT is, they aren’t used.

The fact is that they’re not going to be more popular until people really sit down to learn all their little tricks. I’m not claiming to know them, I’m just saying straight up that eles are not an easy class to do really well with.

Sure, people can play however they want, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to do well. When people don’t do well, especially after playing some of the other classes, they don’t think ‘I just need to practice’ they think ‘Man this class sucks’ and they leave it alone.

A really good ele is hard to find, I think I’ve found like.. two streamers who do really well, and a handful of youtube videos showing them off.

Anyways this is getting off-topic, the thread’s about ele weapon swapping, not if they’re balanced or not xP

Eles aren’t even broken lol. It’s so tiresome to see people complain about it because they haven’t found a playstyle that works for them. So, just. /headdesk

I got 3 lvls 80 , ele/guard/necro.

Only time i find my ele more useful than the other 2 is when i go wvw.

So yeah i think they are quite broken, and many agree with me.

Fact is , most of the times i compare these 3 , using either necro/guard is a faceroll near using the ele.

Maybe you should /headdesk now?

I’ve been playing an ele since BWE1. I’ve done dungeons, SPvP, Tournies, WvW. They’re fine. The exact issue here is that eles aren’t the easiest class to really figure out, which is exactly why people prefer a few other classes, guardians nearly always being one of them.

For now i will simple use my others 80s

So what I’m seeing here is you don’t even play it because the others are easier, but think it’s broken because you haven’t figured it out. Much like most other people who think it’s broken.

The first dungeon to be solo’d was by an elementalist. That’s how underpowered and subpar they are.

Zoid.2568:

Add mounts for lvl 30, 60 and 80 would be a good idea if they won’t reduce the travel cost and different types of mounts with different options how to get them.

TYPES OF MOUNTS

lvl 30 mount – 90% increased movement speed
lvl 60 mount – 180% increased movement speed
lvl 80 mount – 250% increased movement speed
Land Mounts
Underwater Mounts
Land + Underwater Mount

WHERE TO GET MOUNTS

Racial Mounts – 3 mounts for each race, 1 for 30,60 and 80. 15 racial mounts in total.
lvl 30 mount cost 1g (Land)
lvl 60 mount cost 3g (Land)
lvl 80 mount cost 15g (Land + Underwater)

Dungeon Mounts – Traded for tokens by completing explorable mode.
All level 80 mounts. Cost 10 000 tokens.

Black Lion Mounts – Purchasable in the gem store and dropped by Black Lion Chests.
lvl 30,60 and 80 mounts. Land and Underwater. Event-special mounts.

No.
No, no, no, no, no, no. Absolutely not.

For the most part, nobody cares about the speed increase. The most anybody has wanted was 33% in order to balance out the fact that some classes are able to have permanent swiftness already, and that’s the speed they move at. Anything above that is too much, and not the objective.

Mounts, generally speaking, haven’t been desired for their potential speed increase. In fact, seriously if it makes people feel better, don’t even call them mounts since everyone already assumes ‘GO FAST WEE’ when what most of us want is to just sit on something pretty and frolick around.

No combat, no speed boost, no towns.

tom.7468:

Fievre.4510:

I could see a weapon swap for eles/engies working so long as its out of combat. Swapping in combat is unnecessary .

Already possible Press H then the desired weapon.

I was thinking more along the lines of something that requires fewer buttons. I can’t just switch with the tilde like I can on the other classes.

Nox Aeterna.2965:

Honestly what eles NEED is a lot of balancing , im sure one day Anet will get to them , most likely last since they are much harder to balance than others.

But even while i got a ele lvl 80 , weapon swap would be OP. For now i will simple use my others 80s , ele is a very fun class , but not worthy it atm.

Eles aren’t even broken lol. It’s so tiresome to see people complain about it because they haven’t found a playstyle that works for them. So, just. /headdesk

Agreed, definitely. I nagged about it at first when I couldn’t see my HoM titles. I don’t show them off for everyone else, I show them off because I like them. This has shown up in a similar thread, but it works just as well here.

No.

3v2 is an advantage to begin with. It’s an unfair situation. On top of that, all you have to do to keep the thief from healing himself is smack him every now and then. If the others heal him? There are knockbacks, stuns, etc. Or better yet? Run away. If these are tournies, you should be communicating well enough for your team to show up. If it’s just the 8v8 games, then it’s irrelevant >_> WvW is also not a good example.

Gummy.4278:

No speed buff. just for looks, Toy Mounts.

A lot of people already don’t want speed buffs, just mounts to collect.

I’ve already said this somewhere, but I don’t know where that post has managed to go and I’m honestly too lazy to look.

I could see a weapon swap for eles/engies working so long as its out of combat. Swapping in combat is unnecessary .

Dungeons are already being solo’d.

But ignoring that fact, guilds are nice for this sort of thing since they’re usually pretty active and willing to do things. And if you can’t/won’t find a guild that’ll help you out, a pug honestly should be more than able to understand that humans have bladders, stomachs, etc. and sometimes need to afk.

If you’re afking for like 40 minutes and all you’ve given them to go on is ‘brb’ though don’t expect them to keep you around. :P

Zakka.2153:

No mounts please, I don’t need that kinda of money sink.

I’d rather them either.

1) Make way points free (like they should be)
or
2) Make the price of a way point half off if you discover the whole map in that area.

Waypoint costs are fine if you do anything in PVE besides sit in a city. All I do is sit in LA 9/10 times and even I don’t have a problem affording them. Waypoint costs aren’t a problem, they’re maybe, at most, a mild annoyance when you realize you ran the wrong way or have to go back to somewhere you’ve already been.

PS: Mounts haven’t been discussed by devs, you have no idea what sort of “money sink” it would even be. Other than a completely voluntary one.

PPS: Waypoints don’t allow anyone to see the scenery, so they really aren’t encouraging travel by foot unless you’re broke/saving up.

And to anyone claiming mounts are against the lore… Ahem:

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Dolyak

To be fair, lorewise all that was 250 years ago. Things now a days are very different than the way they were back then.

Again, not saying im against mounts, just pointing out a fact.

Please also understand that these people are claiming that never in the history of either game have mounts ever existed in any way, shape, or form. Which is untrue, this is the second post full of links to things that disprove it.

250 years may have passed but that’s hardly a logical reason for people (not you – just generalizing) to think that suddenly nobody would have any reason for mounts. They’re faster than walking and would get you to places that are between two waypoints. It also could just be a leisurely experience.

We have people looking at a housing system, a marriage system, and other things that are generally less common – or at least less likely – in MMOs and mounts of all things are what people are getting hernias over? Really guys? These things that show up in a ton of other games, that have proven they don’t make games fail and improve the experience have people tripping.

I really can’t even comprehend it.

the points that people are being picky about is how they think that mounts would detract from the overall gaming experience. While i agree with no permanent speed increase via mounts, i think that other than that, mounts can add a certain depth into the game, especially for role players. though it would have to be implemented carefully so that it doesnt disrupt the nature of the game.

I don’t doubt at all that Anet wouldn’t bother with them if they weren’t sure how to keep them from messing everything up. But I really do think people should stop thinking in this mindset that nobody else matters lol. If we assume mounts are done as vanity items and have little to no utility otherwise, then it doesn’t hurt anyone other than the people who can’t step off the pedestal and realize that not everyone likes what they like.

Mounts would be entirely optional for players. Waypoints would still exist, so it isn’t like anyone would really be missing anything by not having them. We just want other things to collect – preferably without requiring we run the same dungeon a million times.

It was definitely an awesome feature. I think it was taken out due to issues with water/cutscenes though.

That said, I’d expect it to be back in whenever they’ve got the time to fix whatever was causing issues.

You guys are being silly.

Eles can stomp in mist form, any class can stomp with stability. In fact, anyone can stomp stealthed if there’s an aoe stealth around. With smart players, that’s not terribly unlikely- assuming the group synergizes well, ofc.

Anyways, yeah sure whatever stealth stomps are annoying. Know what else is? When they’re downed and teleport away. When eles vapor form away. When warriors just get right back up. When you run into any class with quickness, whether they’re stomping or not.

If you want to take away stealth finishing from thieves, you better keep in mind that everyone should also want the same treatment applied to other classes.

split.3659:

First of all, I would like to say that GW2 is not the first game that ArenaNet implemented holiday events. The holiday events were some of my fondest memories of GW1. I will leave it at that.

I think people forget sometimes that this is GW*2* and there was a game before this one. That or they just assume that there’s no possible way anyone could ever possibly have thought to have holiday events in GW1, which… is no better.

But anyways, nothing worthwhile to add, I know. Not interested in reading all the posts between this and my last one, sorry gaiz.

They won’t bring it back. GW1=/=GW2, the playstyle is completely different and this has no place here.

Chamone.6890:

No, mounts would not be fun. They ruin the game.

Once you have mounts, everyone wants a mount. Worse still, if mounts give you some kind of stat advantage, everyone has to have a mount.

With mounts, the areas where a lot of players are standing around just looks cluttered and ridiculous.

It’s just a crap idea. You’ve got minipets and ranger pets if you want to collect animals.

No, hold on, wait a second. How would they ruin the game? People haven’t been reading when they post, I see.

1. They aren’t against the lore (mechanical mounts, or organic; either would work)
2. Mounts won’t ruin anything – improper implementation may.
3. Most people agree that we don’t want them in cities or PVP – Please direct me to any other place where people are constantly standing around doing nothing but wasting space (which, in case you didn’t know, is already cluttered)
4. Hoarding minipets and having a mount are not ever going to be synonymous.

Also please don’t resort to telling everyone that they should just play a ranger. Rangers are fun, but I’ve no desire to play one just to hoard pets. Seriously? Was that really just used as an excuse?

These things are all vanity options (Rangers pets are NOT, in case you didn’t know) that people want more of. Why is that so terrible? Once one person has a mount, everyone clearly does NOT want one because we have plenty of people who want nothing to do with them posting here, yourself included.

And who says there’s any reason for mounts to have stats? If that were the case, they’d be equipment, and THAT might be a crap idea. Mounts in general aren’t.

New rebuttal pls.

I actually think racial mounts would be fine. Assuming the mounts are purely cosmetic, it would be no different than racial armor.

Definitely. Or at least allow us to view our own name/title. As such:

I’d quote you but my button broke, so anyways: Just making sure. Apparently people elsewhere on the forum think not having horses would quell people’s desire to have mounts or something idek.

Villious.8530:

Yes to mounts please. Anet, I’ll even pay real money in your game store for them, as I’m sure many would. More money in your pocket, and we know that’s priority #1.

Dont like mounts? Dont use them. A civilization that learned how to teleport people, but not ride animals? Yea, that makes sense……. :-/ Before you say they could have ridden animals, but now only teleport since riding animals is old technology……..they’re still using windmills.

In society today, we don’t need to ride horses either, but some people ENJOY it. If you don’t like riding horses, here’s a thought………don’t ride horses! I don’t see non-horse lovers trying to ban all horses on the earth. Just because YOU don’t like it, doesn’t make it wrong.

Real life is very different from in game.

the reason why people dont want horses is because it’ll destroy peoples ability to see the world, as they would have one without mounts. While people might say ‘well waypoints destroy that anyway’, they’d still have to get there on foot, and giving people mounts would defeat the purpose of the giant wonderful world they have created for us to explore.

That’s a great opinion, but its not mine, and a lot of people beg to differ. Destroy your ability to see the world? Don’t use them. It would enhance my ability to see the world. See how that works?

This. Mounts would enhance the experience for a good many people, including those who are so terribly opposed to them. It may take some time, but it’s pretty likely that they would begin to see that it isn’t the end of the world. I honestly think mounts would be a fantastic addition to this game. A lot of people do, granted they have different opinions on how they should work.

PS: Horses aren’t what you should be worried about. We already know not to count on seeing those, but I don’t see why most other creatures don’t have the potential to be ridden.

But those speculations and complaints are already present. Without horses.

PS – Lack of horses doesn’t mean people won’t inquire about mounts. Hard to believe, I know, but there are other mountable options.

Good thing the Order skins aren’t 30g. :B

Or at least they weren’t, I forget how much they’ve changed. Whatevs, I paid like 2g for the full Whispers set, clearly that’s all that matters because I’m the only important person I acknowledge.

As we’ve already discussed, MOUNTS. ARE NOT. LOREBREAKING. If you will, direct your attention to:

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Banished_Dream_Rider

The Junundu also have been mentioned, just to cover that base.

Please know wtf you’re talking about before you keep repeating what’s been said and proven to be false.

So they’re lorebreaking? No. They’re not. Please see above.

It would clutter the game? No. Please see suggestions that would not allow mounts in cities, and the fact that, what are you expecting people to parade around on? If you want to talk about lorebreaking, it would be any mount that’s big enough to be a “clutter” problem.

It’d become a pay-to-win speed boost from the gem shop? Uh, no? Why would you even think this? Nobody, as far as I’m aware, is rooting for mounts to be restricted to the gem shop. That would be stupid, and if they end up in the game it isn’t going to be through only gem shop purchases. That’s just. I can’t even.

Mounts put a stop to character interaction? Let me tell you, through all the years I’ve played WoW, having a mount was never a reason to ignore someone. It was because I was trying to get somewhere, and mount or no, I wasn’t going to stop. These statements are just getting ignorant and desperate now.

People seem to think that just because they’re content to farm up a dungeon armor set and be done with it, means everyone should be. That’s not the case, at all, and it’s pretty oblivious and selfish to refuse to see otherwise. Some people like to collect everything they possibly can. Mounts wouldn’t be overpowered, they shouldn’t be restricted to only some players (with the exception of having to complete something to get them, maybe), they shouldn’t be in PvP/WvW or cities. They also shouldn’t be limited to just the roads in other zones.

Keeping to the roads would be a pain, both for the devs and the players (because seriously if I want to run in circles on a mount I just got, I want to run in circles sporadically, not on a path).

TLDR: Please stop being so close-minded, you’re not benefiting anyone. Not even yourself, despite you refusing to acknowledge that.

Edited for clarification.

Winchestur.6513:

Last night I was questing in Sparkfly Fen and there was a champ shark, champ jungle troll, and champ risen spider all at once but no one responded in map chat when i told them. This was however after Act III started so people were in LA farming the Mad King. It’ll normalize when the event is over.

Good to see at least someone understands that a lot of people are going to be busy with the Halloween events.

I’m not opposed to the idea, I think stuff like that is always fun. Howeverrrr, and I’m only going to touch on this little bit of info here: Anet doesn’t want a rift in the community.

Even in GW1, some people went a little overboard with the Kurzick/Luxon factions. I imagine that played a fairly significant role in deciding against having factions that might pit the players against each other.

To be fair, most people are probably going to be doing the Halloween events until they’re over.

On top of that, you could also be on a smaller, fairly inactive server. Server transfers are still free, so you could always move to a more populated one and see if that changes things – but decide after the Halloween stuff.

Have they even reimplemented the rewards for guarding the dolyaks in WvW?

Anyways:
Mounts aren’t necessary, no. The game will do fine without them, but they seriously can’t hurt, IF done properly like I’ve said before.

If there’s a speed boost at all, it shouldn’t be significant. An insignificant speed buff would mean you wouldn’t necessarily need to be dismounted upon entering combat because you’re barely moving faster than you would by normally walking. Maybe if you’re smacked with a cripple or a daze or other form of CC then it would dismount you, but honestly if I want to run through a mob I’m going to keep running – mount or no mount.

Most people I’ve talked to would love to see mounts added, for vanity, not utility, purposes. And I think that’d be the way to go if they ever are.

PS – If it’s possible to keep Swiftness up almost always for some classes, and others are able to otherwise cover ground pretty quickly (i.e., on my ele using swiftness, then popping into fire and turning around to use Burning Retreat, then switching to daggers for RTL) I’m failing to see why it would be SO HORRIBLE for mounts even with a 10% speed increase.

People are worrying too much about this game being a “WoW clone” and seriously Anet would have to try REALLY hard to accomplish that much. But what’s more important here, is that it wasn’t an unsuccessful game. I’m failing to realize why anyone is so worried about a game they really enjoy, taking other enjoyable aspects from various other games (WoW is not the only game to ever have mounts :l) since that’s what they’ve been doing anyways. They wouldn’t implement them in a way that it would ruin the game for anyone, and they wouldn’t implement them until they were sure it was ready and working.

Kasei.8726

Ok allow me to clarify, if they ever introduce higher level gear, or increase the level cap that also increases base stats, then I’ll leave. The only reason I see why they would increase the level cap, would be to introduce a new tier of traits so they could provide us with more trait points.

Still seems silly. They wouldn’t need to increase the level cap to introduce new traits since, as I said, you are ALWAYS gaining experience. All they’d have to do is change how things are gained at 80, or maybe make the trait points a reward for doing something simple (but maybe time consuming).

I wouldn’t be opposed to new levels and higher stats so long as it’s not a really terrible jump (ie, 78 cata greens vs 78 wrath greens.) and I’m not too worried about it because if Anet wasn’t sure they could do it, it wouldn’t happen.

Olba.5376:

Fievre.4510:

I just want a cool little mount to prance around on. Slow, fast, tiny, small, I don’t care. And before anyone thinks they’re being clever by telling me to go back to WoW, there are reasons I left it in the first place. Mounts are not reason enough to go back. But here’s a gold star for trying? I guess?

What’s small for a Norn or Charr is big for a human and downright gigantic for an Asura.

If you scale the mounts to the size of the character, you run into obvious issues with Norn and Charr blocking places just because, as you said, they want to look cool. And even if you can talk to NPCs with the F key, that still does not mean that having a bunch of gigantic mounts in a popular location isn’t annoying or disturbing.

If you don’t scale the mounts, you end up with Asura riding gigantic mounts or Norn and Charr looking like they’re trying to ride a puppy.

And majority of the people here do want a speed boost and low costs so that they can get around the supposedly expensive waypoints. If it’s a speed boost you want, there’s a large selection already

Well it’s already been proposed that they wouldn’t be allowed in the main cities, so any annoyance there is limited to map chat. Outside those cities, I can’t imagine enough people would bother wasting their time to find and NPC to sit on solely to irritate people. In WoW, you could stand on the mailbox or on NPCs because it entirely blocked interaction.

Mailboxes aren’t an issue in GW2, and I fail to see how a mount standing on an NPC is any more or less obnoxious than 15 people doing it. It only worked so well in WoW because most people sat in Org/SW afk or in trade chat looking for groups, while sitting in LA would result in no use of the mounts.

I don’t recall ever saying to scale the size of the mounts. They could be racial; after all, they wouldn’t be a necessity. I’m also still sticking to ‘most of us want them as vanity items, with or without a speed boost.’ Because from most of the posts I’ve read (granted I skipped a few pages because I cba to read them all) the only people concerned with a speed boost are the ones who DON’T want mounts. That and the lore are most of the things being thrown out there as reasons to say no.

I’ve addressed the lore aspect of things, as well as speed. Size is apparently now something to worry about, but making them racial would solve that.

Field Marshal.7946:

Mounts would kill this game. They would be left everywhere as well. Part of the fun in this game is running around interacting with the world, not just flying or racing past it. If you want a mount, go play WoW. If not use the way points.

They actually would not, if done properly. Most people who are in favor of mounts don’t care if they offer a speed boost, or if there’s some sort of “fee” to use them (i.e., needing a certain item in your inventory in order to use them, like needing candy corn for the scanner). There’s a thread going on currently (https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Mounts-Merged/page/10) with a lot of the opinions people have on mounts.

Like I said, if done right it won’t be an issue. If there’s a speed boost at all I’d expect something very, very, VERY minor, but it wouldn’t be necessary. Most people want them for vanity purposes anyways, not utility.

This is silly. Mesmers make for a fun fight in PVP, whether I’m playing mine or against someone else’s.

Best thread ever.

Well that seems a bit dramatic. Leaving because the level was raised, even though it’ll have little effect and you’re ALWAYS gaining XP anyways?

New levels wouldn’t bother me. Numerically, it doesn’t seem like a necessary thing but it really wouldn’t even matter as far as I’m concerned. Experience flow is practically nonstop, the only thing I think would irk me is that it would lead to higher stats.

They may not be difficult or seem overly complicated, but they also don’t seem like things that are high priority. There are more important issues to stay focused on.

Junundu, by the way since nobody wants to look anything up (which is why lore “fanatics” are saying mounts never existed in the story at all) were giant wurms in the Nightfall story that you “rode” – and by that I mean they basically ate you – to travel across an area that was mostly toxic and would kill you if you tried to cross those areas without the wurms.

The cost of waypoints is NOT the issue. People seem to be misunderstanding that. Most people who want mounts don’t even want a speed boost, we just want a vanity item that we can parade around on and look cool with. Tbh, if using mounts made you SLOWER, I still would want them.

I don’t want a speed increase, I don’t want a reason for waypoints to become obsolete (seriously, if you think I’m going to use a mount instead of a waypoint to run from Metrica all the way to Kessex you are mistaken, and they’re not even that far), I don’t want something obnoxious and ‘overpowered’ by any definition of the word.

I just want a cool little mount to prance around on. Slow, fast, tiny, small, I don’t care. And before anyone thinks they’re being clever by telling me to go back to WoW, there are reasons I left it in the first place. Mounts are not reason enough to go back.

Speaking of lore, it makes a lot of sense to have miniatures.

Yup, still just want mounts as another thing to collect. I don’t care about a speed boost, I want to look cool sitting on whatever they’d use. GW has always had plenty of things to collect for no reason other than because you feel like it. Armor? Go ahead. Weapons? Sure. Minis? No problem.

In GW1, there were mounts. For NPCs, sure, but they were there. So to say that they were never at all in the lore is silly. Dwarves had dolyaks and what were the ugly giant hamster things that knocked you down? Bam, mounts.

Waypoints may render them obsolete, sure, but in that case shouldn’t guns do the same to bows? It’s been 250 years after all, so if nothing else they should at least be really fancy bows.

Point is: I still want mounts. If you don’t, and they were ever to be implemented, then don’t use them. Whoaaa.

Too bad I cant convert all the tears here into Ascalonian Tears and get easy Catacombs stuff.

First thing I’m gonna do is get all the skins ^_^

You quoted me earlier, and when I actually read your name it made me laugh. I’m now bragging on Skype.

@Dinks

Repeatedly, like 50 times.

“You keep insisting they do. But can’t seem to tell me where they did.”

Such ignorance. I’m done slamming my head into the brickwall that is your intelligence. Seriously, if you can’t understand by now you never will, or you refuse to accept it.

I’ve stated nothing but fact, only you’re too clueless to understand without a colorful picture.

You wouldn’t have to slam your head into anything if you actually showed where they gave a specific time instead of just going ‘Oh man you’re dumb’ and refusing to give proof you swear exists. If it’s there, it shouldn’t be difficult to find.

It all makes sense. The apocalypse is going to happen this year because people are going to panic and cry because a game update is going to be a bit later than they anticipated. Oh no. What ever will we do while the game is still up and entirely playable.

Anet has always used PST. You know, I can think of another big name that uses PST and doesn’t get reamed over not using GMT. And you know what? It seriously does not even matter. You have the internet at your fingertips. You can look up a time converter, or better yet you can sit in game and set up the clock to display PST.

You guys should probably calm down. The update will happen, and you know what? Even if it’s late, the update will happen. Would you rather have it early and broken, or late and functional? Things come up, Anet handles those things pretty well.

The problem is the people not being able to have a string of patience and understand that things are not going to be perfect.

Whoops forgot I posted in a few threads.

Rereading this, I realized why: Way too many tears flooding the forums.

Ele is my main, it will continue to be my main. It isn’t overpowered, it isn’t underpowered, and it isn’t incredibly easy. That’s, in large part, exactly what so many people enjoy about it.

If you dislike it, then seriously just go reroll and solve everybody’s problem here.

We already have double the skills any other class with a weapon swap has. Even if it was tied to our attunements it shouldn’t at all be an in-combat swap.

What I WOULD like to see, however, is something like they had in GW1, where you could set up several weapon sets (or in this case maybe just one extra, anything would be better than nothing) so that when I’m swtiching between weapons and my inventory is a mess, I don’t have to spend 10 minutes looking through items if I happen to have multiple daggers/scepters/whatevers.

Until then, I’ll be resorting to TRYING to keep my inventory sorted out so that I can semi-easily switch weapons whether it’s in dungeons, WvW, SPvP, or just out doing DEs.

I…I don’t understand at all what the content of your post has to do with the title.

Or why you’d even need to report someone as AFK in a tourny game considering you should be communicating with them enough to know they’re there anyways. It isn’t like you accidentally take a bot into a tourny. Unless I’m missing something?

IIRC, it’s been said that ALL SPvP skins are obtainable in PVE, and vice versa.

The question is, where did this one disappear to.

Branwin.4609:

I have a question, is there a website you guys are going to to look these up, gallery style, or is it just through discovery? I am not sure where I can go to check out the looks of PvP gear in game, I have only seen the dungeon sets and the cultural sets.

If you go to the Heart of the Mists and interact with the PVP lockers, you can preview all the PVP skins.

At any rate I was really wanting to get a Halloween-themed set around and wanted to use some of the pieces from this for it. But now it’s gone D:

My main is also an ele, and honestly the only things that bug me are like… Ride The Lightning sometimes sending me backwards. Or nowhere.

By the way, Whirlpool is pretty beast. Nothing like aggroing all sorts of stuff underwater and popping that elite to watch their hp tick away. Even in SPvP.
