That would be too hard to implement and I can see that there would be a huge exploit issue. NO

It is the truth – when A.Net brought in the Ursan skill, they thought it would be a hard skill to use and situational. It was exploited for 6 months before it was nerfed into oblivion.

All players want a balanced game but the balance HAS to be in their favor not others. This whole issue smacks of that exact attitude.

I think all of us who agree on this issue are fine with it being a feature for ALL professions. How is that in favor of one class or another? Also you failed to answer my question above. I’ll quote it to you in a second.

Lilith Ajit.6173:

If its already decided it’ll never happen why are you fighting everyone tooth and nail? You obviously don’t need to because it’s such a bad idea.

Okay I don’t live in a bubble and I’ve never been kicked from my party for being on my ranger.

might be that I can play a ranger correctly in a dungeon though. It’s not like anyone recognizes the great Lilith Ajit on her namesake ranger or anything.

If its already decided it’ll never happen why are you fighting everyone tooth and nail? You obviously don’t need to because it’s such a bad idea.

Do you run Fractals Cloy?

Why can’t anyone at least READ THE FIRST POST before you start to post unrelated stuff ???

It was asked to SWAP weapons OUT OF COMBAT … so its just that you don’t have the hazzle with inventory management.

And i’m all for it .. it plain sucks if i use a staff and want to change to Scepter/Dagger and after that there is a free space in my invisible bag, so that i have to fill it with salvage kit or any other junk that i can’t sale for accident, and when i want to change again i first have again to move that into a normal bag, so that i have again space for 2 weapons.

And for Ele AA .. on Scepter Fire also is bad .. so Lightning is the only decent.

That would be too hard to implement and I can see that there would be a huge exploit issue. NO

Personally I think you’re wrong. If it was implemented in Pve and WvW only, and was for all professions, I think it would be wonderful. Basically, it would free up inventory space and fix a QoL issue many of us have. Just because you don’t like the idea doesn’t make it a bad one.

So,
recommended professions to have are: ele, warrior, guardian… and maybe thief?

That totally depends on the path.

Sorry, my English is not very good. I meant lvl 80 toons that everyone one should have. Then you use one or other accordint path and party.

You really should have all 7.

Your Janes are not plain!

But yeah I’m blown away by the entries. Amazing job folks!

Lishtenbird.2814:

If you give engis and eles an OoC weapon swap (thus e.g. giving an ele 8 weapon sets instead of 4 without opening inventory), then please add a weapon set swap function to other classes so that we can have 4 instead of 2.

Because I do not think it’s fair that an ele would have 8 open weapon sets in sPvP during the match and my class would have 2, or that an ele can change those in WvW in a brief moment of OoC with one button while my class would have to search for those in inventory.

I think that’s totally fair.

it should be easier to use alternate weapons. I mean those of us who use multiple stat types of the same weapons, regardless of profession, the inventory is a b.

they should have implemented ooc weapon swapping to the hero ui, like an easy way, from the beginning.

Meh. I get the ascended thing. I like having mesmers. They let me be more lazy.

Ryn.6459:

So,

All professions are fine except necro. Engi is fine too. Not as amazing as eles. But no one can beat the perfection of an elementalist.

Flissy.4093:

“stop people playing how they want because I want to play how I want”

These type of posts all over.

It’s soooooo hard to post your own LFGs.

So tuff.

Yeah. Play how you want people and don’t tell anyone what’s “supposed” to be “fun”. Make your own groups yeah Eee yeah Eee yeah.

…I’ll have to write a song for this brb.

jesus… didn’t think there still so many dump ppl on tyria :O

Maha is a rare breed. He prefers to basically solo the dungeon with pugs than to speed run it with a bunch a leets.

I love running with Maha <3 I can be as noobie as I am and he carries me all day err day.

yayuuu.9420:

Maybe just don’t run and kill them? It takes like 2 minutes and usually saves more time than waiting for everyone to get there.

Sorry. No one cares. Stop trying to force your play style on others. K.

Lishtenbird.2814:

Romo.3709:

Overall it’s been 546 days since Fractals were released, that resulting in 4.6 runs per day, every day of your life since Fractals first came out. Either you are living in fractals, hence your luck is unimaginably bad, or you’re over exaggerating that number by a landslide.

Maybe he meant fractals themselves, not sets of fractals (with 3x or 4x fractals per run).

Which would make the number entirely irrelevant to the conversation as it is about the daily chest rng.

Good analogy.

Iirc, aegis does though… if you’re out of dodges and you time it right. Could be wrong though.

DigitalKirin.9714:

Lilith Ajit.6173:

I was super rude today. I was fractaling with no pulse, ariete, and someone else they knew plus one pug. I was doing pretty poorly on my guardian at growl and I saw my AR trinkets weren’t on. So I got my AR up and the pug asks if I have AR. I said yes.

So then another wipe happens. I’m so bad at guardian. The pug goes “switch back to your ele, you need AR”. So I then flipped out in my root canal rage and said “f*** you” pings 38 AR “f*** yourself” initiate vote kick. On TS I demanded they second it.

I was very rude. But it made me feel so good. I hope I get an angry thread dedicated to me soon.

I’ve had those nights before where you just can’t seem to nail your Aegis timing, or your walls just don’t come up at the right moment and you just get flattened on your guard. I hope you’re feeling better, though. I don’t usually envision you as someone initiating vote kicks. Course, some ppl just rub you the wrong way, haha. I can understand vote-kicking someone who doubts you. That’s why as a PUG I always try to keep my mouth shut.

You’re right, it wasn’t very like me. But the pug… yeah just rubbed me the wrong way. Like, why would I lie about my AR? I’m not a Pleb.

Dreamslayer.7659:

Most gifts are account bound after you make them so it’s probably not practical to have someone make this for you.

According to http://www.gw2crafts.net/artificing.html you can become an Artificer 400 crafter for well under 10g

If you use their fast guide, it’s very fast and only about 1g more.

Unfortunately the issue is the cost of the recipe. This gift, iirc, is not account bound.

play the game to play the game; don’t play it to get drops, or you will always be disappointed.
this concept is part of Basic Gambling 101

Disagree. We play this game to play, sure, but there is nothing fun about busting your rear in a level 49 fractal and getting nothing, over and over and over again. The drop rates are broken. They need to be fixed. Or even acknowledged.

Is there a reason this isn’t in the Dungeon forums? (In before move).

I don’t know. I didn’t post it o.O

To make the recipe for this item, it costs an incredible amount of money. So people who already have the recipe can make the gift of souls if the OP sends them the ingredients. It’s a good idea I think. That’s how I’d like to do the crossing staff eventually.

Now… While I agree with most of the other posters that this will never happen… you guys really could be nicer about it. Geez.

OP, rather than suggest an update to eternity, you could suggest a gem store item, a quest item, something, that could be used to improve the looks of all legendaries. So thus could be eternity’s, but there could be one for all of them. To improve colors or to make the auras bigger… that sort of thing.

And again folks, be nice. No reason to cause animosity needlessly.

I like Charr. In fact, I’m far more impressed by fashionable Charr than I am most other races. The issue is, no one seems to know how to build fashionable Charr. I’ll have to post mine. There’s something to say when it took me literally an hour to come up with an acceptable light outfit for my Necro. But she looks awesome. I’ll post it later.

All kinds of gifts.

I think I send a gift a day.

I like Nevets’ idea. Winner of the bet (hendo or guan) gets a gift from me!

Adinay.5381:

Ok I will go stare at my bank full of fractal skins while you QQ here. Good day!

Yeah when did you get them? When you played pre fractured? oopsGet a brain you kitty.

My Editors told me I was being mean.

ahem.

Mathematics does not lie. Your so called “500 runs” is less accurate than one with 1000. That’s a fact. Mathematics does not lie.

Adinay.5381:

I read the OP. I just don’t agree with it. We don’t have to all agree.

A static group I run with tested this. 5 People, 100 runs of level 28, 38 and 48. The average drop chance for a fractal skin for us was:

28: 1/16 chance
38: 1/8 chance
48: 1/4 chance

That seems fair to me. If you only have time for a 48 a day, you’d still get 1-2 skins a week. If you have time for a 28, 38, and 48, you’d get a skin every 2 days.

Even casual players that only do a 28 a day get a skin every 2 weeks or so.

Leave it as it is please Anet.

I would agree that ANET should leave it as it is if your numbers were right, but they aren’t.

Ok so you’ve done a test of 500 runs at 3 different tiers? Or 100 with 5 people consistent? Share your numbers. Its very hard for my numbers to be wrong after how many we did. It also may be hard to believe because, for example : One person could do 10 48s before getting a drop while someone else gets 4 in a row. RNG, but theres the numbers after a very long test.

Why don’t you read the thread I posted and come back and then start talking to us about sample sizes.

That’s the most…. defeated response I’ve ever heard. Stoop. Have a hug.

I love my guardians combo, but it has an RP background so it’s a little different. I really love the cultural heavy, but also the pit fighter. I love my warrior who bears her chest. So fierce. Haha

The ascended staves are nice. They have slight particle effects but no where near the bifrost.

It doesn’t quite match the symmetry but delusion is quite beautiful too.

Aw. So cute. I love Asura. I want more than the 8 I have. Hehe.

Holy necro batman.

I have 3 sisters as well, but their names are Jaya Voska, Lady Jaya, and Squaark. I didn’t really think of their siblings until after… but they all used to have the same hair. Recently I redid my Squaark though… she’s very happy not being a Jaya clone.

Alvarez Azel.4083:

Lilith Ajit.6173:

May I ask which colleges the sisters are in?

Rei- synergetics
Nikki- statics
Lisa- statics

I’ll be honest i’m not much of a role player so the college decisions kind of became redundant :P

Fair enough

By the way if my lovely forum regulars aren’t shaking in their boots, then i don’t know what would make them!

A lot of amazing screens. I’m so glad to see so many newcomers to this contest!

Keep posting! We have a while left, yet!

Lankybrit.4598:

Rouven has it right. Buy up the T6 bags with Laurels and sell them on the TP. You’ll average 1g per laurel. Your 5g will buy you much better gear than what is contained in the gear bag.

Do not do this.

T6 mats are more than likely going to crash soon because of the pavillion next week.

They need to introduce fist weapons.

That kitten Alphard could use a good fisting…

I see what you did there.

May I ask which colleges the sisters are in?

feels dirty for reading that

I don’t much care one way or the other… I don’t think Anet would implement such a system anyway. As a dungeon runner, I could never achieve 15k AP doing the things I like to do in game, and just like ascended armor, I would not do things I don’t enjoy just to get it (ie dragonite). For my legendaries I had to spend about 3 hours of my life total to get the required wvw map completion, but the rest I was able to achieve while doing things I like, exploring and dungeoning. To get 15k AP though… would turn the game I love to play into a chore. So I would never get legendary armor. That’s my only point. And my initial response was merely “15k AP” Not “15k AP LOL NO WAY YOUR WRONG”. I don’t find achievement hunting legendary. That’s just me. I get you’re different. That’s okay. Anyway:

Tl;dr: A system which required steep AP for a legendary is something I would never pursue. I get that others would.

Jaya Voska ’ s looks change with the tide.

she is a fashionista, and changes her hair once a week and her dyes all the time.

Did you draw this yourself?

Nope! I wish. I commissioned Hahnchen down in fan gen.

I have unlimited money. Same thing, really.

Dawww.

Jaya Voska ’ s looks change with the tide.

she is a fashionista, and changes her hair once a week and her dyes all the time.

I think it’s possible that the necromancer ’ s presence in the game is blatantly a bug.

Draknar.5748:

Lilith Ajit.6173:

15k AP…. ow…

/15kSadCharrs

For legendary armor, 15k AP sounds like a completely fair number. You should at least have that Masterful Achiever title. A good % of players are at 10k+ AP at this point in the game.

For reference: I have 12.2k AP and 1250 total hours played across all characters. Should be able to hit 15k by the 1500-1600 hrs played mark. Doesn’t seem unreasonable to me for legendary armor. I mean, it’s legendary!

When you actually work to get AP, it comes pretty quick. Obvious channels of course are doing all daily categories, all monthly categories, do all of the JPs, do all Explorer achieves, do all LS achieves when they become available, all WvW tourny achieves, WvW achieves in general, PvP achieves, crafting achieves, X monster kills, personal story achieves for each race, mini-game achieves, FoTM achieves, dungeon achieves. It’s actually pretty easy to get this stuff if you focus on it.

You would have to actually AP hunt essentially. That’s the legendary aspect I’m suggesting.

Okay.

Well great for those achievement hunters. I see nothing at all legendary about killing 1000 skelk.

That is my main. O.o
