Buff the freaking GS already..

Personally I think the autoattack chain needs a slight damage boost, and Maul needs both a damage boost AND a blast finisher.

Fact: Engineer Bomb AUTOATTACK is better than Maul in every way!

Barrage and Whirling Defense

in Ranger

Posted by: Kain Francois.4328

Kain Francois.4328

Am I the only one who doesn’t mind Whirling Defense being Stationary?

Honestly, I wouldn’t change a thing about the Ranger’s OH axe. It’s an overall solid weapon with a great pull, projectile reflect, and retaliation.

If we had to buff it, I’d simply give Whirling Defense a radius buff, but nothing beyond that.

You must nerf deadeye farm once again

in Queen's Jubilee

Posted by: Kain Francois.4328

Kain Francois.4328

Why nerf him? In my experience, you don’t make much more money than 10g/hour, which is the average of barracuda farm and (what was) CoF P1.

Unlike the Cursed Shore Ember farm, Deadeye doesn’t interfere with normal gameplay whatsoever.

The amount people make from this farm is grossly exaggerated because you pay 20s per 5 tickets.

Queen Gauntlet an "exploit"?

Problem is, how do we define an exploit when fighting Queen’s Gauntlet?

Using Blind intelligently is not an exploit, correct?

Just wanna get a confirmation here, not to repeat the “Snowflake” incident.

If we love playing Queen’s Gauntlet against the same opponent multiple times, and we’ve mastered a strategy against him, are we doing anything that risks a ban?

Best Easter Egg ever

Just wanted to say that I think it’s the best easter egg ever to be able to enter the Pavilion by actually jumping into the hole.

Really awesome detail by Arena Net. Good Job!

Sign here to give blowtorch torment

Kain Francois.4328

I wouldn’t use it even if it had torment (PvE).

Blowtorch needs a raw damage boost. A massive one. Something which justifies Pistol MH awful autoattack.

Steam Creatures

Honestly, I hope they expand upon the Steam Creature lore, since they’re such a prevailing enigma. Hopefully Thaumanova Reactor reveals more about them.

What about the Sylvari?

I wouldn’t mind more Sylvari. I feel really left out as a plant-man…

Trahearne Mini

Kain Francois.4328

Wouldn’t it be cool if we had a sparkling Trahearne Mini?

It could be wielding Saladbowl with disproportionate particle effects the size of the mini Trahearne himself! And every time you go into combat, it could shout “This wont end well…”

I’m being serious here! It could be the ultimate troll mini, and it would be awesome!

Dungeon Arah perm closed due to farmers

Also they updated Arah NOT to be permanently closed anymore. It’s only closed during the event.

Have fun!

That is the problem. I would like to get into Arah but I can’t because of the Zerg is not completing the event.

Are you sure Arah is closed during Shank Anchorage?

Anyways, you could simply wait 10m.

But I did not join the pot party. If I knew a pot party was going on, I call the cops.

You could at least be respectful and not interfere.

We all know ANET is going to fix this soon. But it’s not necessary for you to annoy the farmers in the meantime.

I’m betting Queen’s Spy, where a Watchknight is disguised as someone.

Judging by the .dat file though…


“A migratory market’s just opened at the foot of Mount Maelstrom! See its wonders before it leaves!” 109839_0735
Presumably called ‘The Wandering Bazaar’. (Perhaps it’s a small Bazaar envoy, so we can still get recipes and things?) 109839_0737

ANET said “Play how you want”, but I want other players to play how I want!

Sarcasm aside, while it’s true there’s nothing preventing you from succeeding the event, don’t think for a second that it’s socially acceptable to ruin other people’s fun.

But its OK for farmers to deliberately fail events for profit and threaten players who interfere with their precious route?

You’re missing the point about social norms.

If you interfere with their farming route, obviously you provoke an angry response. Don’t act like they aren’t justified to be mad at you.

To be clear, it’s NOT okay for them to act like they own the map. However, it is the established social norms, and it’s not nice to purposely go against them just to provoke an angry response.

We’re talking basic social behavior here. If you go to a party and everyone is doing pot, you aren’t going to lecture them about not doing pot and confiscate it from them. Sure, what they are doing is illegal, but it was the social norm at the party.

What’s right or wrong legally is one discussion, but what is right or wrong socially is something that should be very clear.

Anise just has a condescending personality and weird sense of humor. Like for example in the Key Farm personal story, she disguises Logan as an ugly bandit with a burnt face (as opposed to Uptown Johnny.)

I believe the 3-vote system would help solve this too.

Why were tokens nerfed?

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Kain Francois.4328

Kain Francois.4328

Because ANET thinks we care about “progression” and that it supposedly makes us excited.

They’re adding more daily-limited content too, so I’m assuming there’s a group of voiceless players actually excited about daily-chores each day.

Are Our Characters Suddenly Mute?

in Living World

Posted by: Kain Francois.4328

Kain Francois.4328

A couple of things here:

  • Marketing had no involvement in casting the player character. This was a design-driven decision.
  • The unfortunate side effect of having the player speak with 10 different voices is that it is cost prohibitive, and that the lines are shared. Dialog does not deviate, which means that a charr male PC says the same line as a sylvari female in cinematics in circumstances where any player can talk.

Well thanks for clarifying. And sorry, I hope my complaint didn’t come out the wrong way.

Also, I kinda wanna see Martin voice a Charr.

Aegis, Visual effect - removed

in Guardian

Posted by: Kain Francois.4328

Kain Francois.4328

I agree Aegis should have a different effect, especially one which is more color-neutral.

That said though, I would be disappointed if they changed it entirely, since the effect is what makes Fractal Shield so cool on Guardians.

This is why it’s a bad idea to hire bigshot celebrities to voice an MMO.

Honestly, did the marketing team believe whether or not people like Nolan North voices the main character, would decide whether or not people buy the game?

Now because of decisions like that, our playable character has to be mute for most the upcoming updates! <_<

I mean, granted Nolan North is a great voice actor, does anyone actually care enough for it to be a deciding factor?

Speculation: 500 Chef

Posted by: Kain Francois.4328

Kain Francois.4328

So what do you speculate will be done at 500 Chef?

We do know at 400 Chef you can make some legendary ingredients, such as Vial of Liquid Flame. But what goes beyond legendary materials?

ANET announced higher tier materials will be time-gated, so it’s safe to assume food will be as well.

What do you think?

- “Ascended” Food?
- “Legendary” food? (The “Holy Grail” Everlasting food?)
- Precursor materials?

Personally I’m betting on “legendary” food, since they also announced “legendary” trinkets.

Ogres are closely based off of “Oni” from Japanese folklore. Yet they are featured as one of “humanity’s enemies” inside the Queen’s Pavilion.

This is a metaphor that Asian cultural influence threaten the “universal” depiction of humanity.

It’s a subliminal metaphor for ArenaNet telling us Asians are not “universal” enough for the human race!

The Grizwhirl's Origins (Spoilers!)

Posted by: Kain Francois.4328

Kain Francois.4328

My thoughts are the Grizwhirl uses the same power that dragons use to corrupt the minds of its minions.

That, or it has absolutely no place in the lore whatsoever, and it’s just an inside joke making fun of the Ringmaster from Marvel comics.

Knowing ANET, I’m betting they’re just a fan of Marvel.

Why don't you just erase pets from this game.

in Queen's Jubilee

Posted by: Kain Francois.4328

Kain Francois.4328

I don’t think they should remove pets. But I do think they should move more towards utility, such as Red Moa applying Fury to the team, or Fern Hound being able to knockdown foes, and apply regeneration.

Give Ranger the damage, give pets the utility.
