Plz fix it, ANET!

Sylvari is unplayable in a game about visual-progression.

Backpiece clipping

Could start with having fewer spikes. :P
I know someone over there has a great huge love for spikes(see GW1 assassin armor …).

Not until they add spiky medium armor for us Assassins, errr… I mean Thieves.

Seriously. I want that! (Props for not being a trench-coat..)

Hey ANET. In the future, could you please add armor with the stats power+precision+healing? Thanks!

Guardian stats?

I do want to be support.

But isn’t the best defense a good offense? I want to find the balance enough to mitigate damage to my team while being good at damage myself.

Guardian stats?

Kain Francois.4328

Hi. I’m having trouble deciding on stats for a guardian.

I want to play a high level FoTM and dungeon player with healing symbols. Problem is, how should I gear?

Should I go full berserker? Or should I go half Precision+Vitality+Healing power with Berserker Jewels? With 4 Runes of Rage and 2 Runes of the citadel? Or do you have any other equipment ideas entirely?

Furthermore, what trait setup should I use? I was thinking 0-0-30-30-10 for access to healing symbols, altruistic healing, the aoe toughness boost, battle presence (AoE Virtue of Resolve), Empowering Might, longer symbols, and longer conscretions.

Would I get suspended for this name?

Backpiece clipping

Kain Francois.4328

My complaint is with the Sylvari skeleton in general. Test it on both human and sylvari.

Backpiece clipping

in Last Stand at Southsun

Posted by: Kain Francois.4328

Kain Francois.4328

I think it’s the case that there will always be clipping in one way or another When we pull it far enough off the back for it not to clip on heavy armors, people in light/medium armor have a large gap between their back and the item. We try to find the happy medium where we can appease as many as we can, but it’s not going to be perfect for everyone.
That being said, we are looking into these issues and trying to develop better systems for the back-slot items that will result in less clipping and less gaps. Certain armors will always be problematic, but we’re always looking into solutions for things like these

But this is NOT an issue with Heavy armor! Both of my characters use heavy armor. This is a problem exclusive to SYLVARI!

Take 5 minutes to test with the same body size and weapon. Something is very messed up with their SKELETON! (See: the stretching of pants.) On the case of the flower, compare with the human version:

Keep magic find boost after event

Raise general drops in exchange for removing magic find sounds like a good idea.

If they remove MF what happens to eq that was purchased with laurels, guild comm. and gold? Just saying

Change it to Boon Duration. Or make a completely new stat combo.

Warn us a month or two in advance.

Consortium Whip

Kain Francois.4328

Judging by discussion on the forums, Whips and Polearms seem to be the most wanted weapons for an expansion.

Polearm: Warrior, Guardian (paragon-style), Engineer

Whips: Ranger, Thief, Necromancer.

Preferably for both, a new 1h weapon? (Ranger and Engineer desperately needs a new MH…)

Keep magic find boost after event

in Last Stand at Southsun

Posted by: Kain Francois.4328

Kain Francois.4328

Well I’m not opposed abolishing magic find entirely, and giving it an infusion slot for every piece of gear.

We have 6 pieces of armor. Give each a utility slot for +20 utility, and that is 120 magic find. Our amulet is another +20, making that 140. +30 from omnom bar, that is 170% magic find without sacrificing stats!

Or they could seriously just abolish magic find in the game, and have an NPC give us the boost after beating some event.

Backpiece clipping

in Last Stand at Southsun

Posted by: Kain Francois.4328

Kain Francois.4328

Well maybe if they make something Sylvari-themed, they should actually test it on Sylvari before anyone else?

The equivalent is giving humans an Asura-related backpiece, but having it clip horribly on asura. The question is WHY did they not model it on an asura before the other characters!?

The flower backpiece feel kinda rush.

Granted they ARE cool, but it clips so badly with a Sylvari using Greatsword…

Tentacles and shells in Karka Hive

Posted by: Kain Francois.4328

Kain Francois.4328

Well clearly we see shells sticking out of the side of the walls. As you can see from the first image, they cross underneath the platform, implying they are something a little more than random shells, but rather something attached.

It is odd though. Some of them are cracked open, and you can see organic stuff.

But it specifically clips badly on Sylvari rather than human. I tested on both, with the same sword.

Is not anyone else bothered by the severe clipping on the backpiece?

On humans it aint so bad, but on Sylvari…

My question is why make the most Sylvari-themed backpiece clip the worst on Sylvari?

I think Rangers should be the ones to get Whips because next to Engineers, they need the most love. Ranger needs more main hand weapons. We are blessed with amazing offhands, but the worst mainhands in the game…

A necro wouldn’t be too shabby with a whip either, because of the whole masochism thing from gw1.

Apparently the original lore of Lyssa somewhere in GW1 said one glance at her would drive a man into a total state of trance, implying they would be too mesmerized to eat.

Though I think before any dying from starvation, it would fall off from being fondled too much.

Stop spawning drakes in towns

At the time of this post, each Armored Scale is worth around 30s. Within 1 hour, all the loot I earned totalled more than 10g (the average of CoF), and earned me 5 RNG boxes (4 of which I opened.)

Do engineers finally have a purpose? I would think so! :P

edit: 12g in the one hour, specifically. ! Tell the CoF farmers to go Skritt themselves, cuz’ only us Engineers and our nades perfected SCUBA-fishing Barricuda!

TA Heavy clipping

in Sylvari

Posted by: Kain Francois.4328

Kain Francois.4328

Apparently t2 pants and TA boots no longer clip. Not sure if they changed pants or boots, but I’ll assume TA boots were changed somehow.

Still stretches horribly. And TA pants clip not fixed either.

Is there any other Sylvary armor?

in Sylvari

Posted by: Kain Francois.4328

Kain Francois.4328

I hope we get new heavy armor.

T1 and T2 heavy pants have horrible stretching issues, t3 doesn’t go well with other armor and dyes badly, and TA pants clip with staff and greatsword.

Come to think of it, it’s just the pants that are messed up. They need to fix the pants-stretching.

Weapons Merchant

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Kain Francois.4328

Kain Francois.4328

I really don’t see the point.

If they are to be given any purpose, at least let them sell account bound items for free. That way any player who messes up majorly and sells all their weapons and the kitchen sink, could get easy access to every weapon in the game.

It would certainly be helpful for the start of the game.

So what's with these plants?

They are not plants. They are eggs laid by Trahearne.

PSA - Consortium Chests

in Last Stand at Southsun

Posted by: Kain Francois.4328

Kain Francois.4328

I looted 4 chests farming barracudas for 30 minutes.

Unless the new build modified droprates, then I think this is quite a good droprate. Even if it does take you 131 chests to get a weapon (as it did me and Fusion Weapons), if you farm for 2 hours a day, that is average 16 chests per day. If you farm 2 hours a day for only 8 days, that is 131 chests.

While it’s true the chests are RNG, I think ANET is much more fair this time around.

How about a trap removing clones from mesmers, preventing warriors from gaining adrenline, disabled pet on ranger, and locking all the guardian virtues.

Yeah, this is pretty dumb. Why discriminate against such an important feature for a single class?

More Chest RNG Weapons

You pay money for gems, not for the chest. In addition, it’s not legally gambling because you still earn rewards.

Is the firing rate of axes faster, or just the speed of the projectile? (Is the lag between shots the same?)

I really love Ranger offhand weapons, but the horrible sword MH is too annoying and useless, while axe doesn’t deal much damage. Does the speed buff make a difference? Does it?

More farming, please!

Braham, Rox - bit hard to take seriously...

in Flame and Frost

Posted by: Kain Francois.4328

Kain Francois.4328

I actually love Braham to be honest. Rox felt kinda flat, but Braham’s lines always make me laugh! “Hey, ugly!”

I wouldn’t mind seeing him in future content. He’s a useful NPC who actually does stuff (Guardian bubble), and he’s quite well written without becoming too goofy.

On top of that, both his backstory and personal confict are interesting. It’s another case of “saving the girlfriend”, but in this case the girlfriend might be the villain!

Furthermore, considering how much some players hate Destiny’s Edge, it was great to see him give Eir the middle finger!

I like this guy!

Posted by: Kain Francois.4328

Kain Francois.4328

Just my request to the devs, but I would love if the Living Story permanent additions to GW2 gave us new farming possibilities besides CoF and Cursed Shore.

Let’s be realistic here: Endgame players want to farm. We need gold to craft our exotic Volcanus or legendary Predator. We need a farm to earn at least 5g/hour.

Would it not be a good idea to give us more things to farm? Items sure to be expensive, yet drop a lot?

TA Heavy clipping

in Sylvari

Posted by: Kain Francois.4328

Kain Francois.4328

For my fellow Sylvari here, does the TA Heavy armor clipping bother anyone else?

Specifically, when Greatsword is wielded your arms go through the skirt! (Similarly, Guardian Staves pierce it as well…)

It also experiences unpleasant stretching on bigger body masses. It even stretches and clips on the thinest body sizes!

Does this not bother anyone else?
