Not “remove” dungeons, but rather reduce the “CoF1&3 15kAP Ascended or kick” farm. Or dungeon-gold farming in general. A big payout on dungeons adds money to the economy, more than is appropriate to maintain its health.

Rather, it’s better to reward materials and items with low vendor value. Players sell on the market to other players, and that filters out money via trading fees. With the map rewards coming, even those prices should be relatively in control, once the upshot in demand bases out.

Dungeon runs might remain the fastest way to get the unique exotics, but it’s old, stale content that is no longer supported, and it seems wise to aim away from them as a part of the reward structure.

I don’t know anyone that farms dungeons for gold, but if they do it, they’re not really that smart i have to say, sure for tokens, kinda, but for gold?
The only “good” gold reward is the 24h gated one, after that, 20s is peanuts. You earn tons more from FGS champ farm or simply doing silverwastes chains, dry top buried chests, World boss trains.. Honestly, anything gives your more money for your time than repeating a dungeon twice in a day.

Nobody repeats dungeons multiple times per day. “Farming” gold in dungeons is running the easiest paths as quickly as possible, once per day.

So you’re telling me, that people that do EVERY PATH, which takes several hours will gain, around 30 gold? 35? When usually a single rotation of silverwastes, just doing events and nightmare chests, nets me 7 gold minimum? And dungeons is the bad thing?

Dungeons is “bad” because it gives the player base an alternative to fractals + raids. So … “bad” in Anet perspective with their new focus on fractals + raids.

what is tot?

Just a flesh wound.3589:

Well, this is one way to get people excited about doing your new content. Nerf the rewards for the old content so it can’t compete. Lol.

Yeap. As long as enough people let their views get known enough, Anet will change it back. Or at least nerf it not-so-much.

OK, imagine all the noobs flooding fractals. I’m a fractal elitist sooooo this makes me very unhappy.

“1. T5 leather. This stuf has been sold to vendors for 3 years. It is the best bet you can make.”

Says someone who is sitting on boatloads of this.

LOL can’t disagree with you

They worked really kitten dungeons I have no idea why they’re moving away from it :| It was a huge part of the game

Notice how they released information on new legendaries ALONGSIDE information on all dem nerfs.

Nothing like positive news to offset the real gamechangers

ugh. ew. no. not her >.<

Acrisor.8097:

If they add bunny ears, I don’t think I shall buy this item. Everybody will have it, nothing unique about this girlie item.

With this attitude, THEY’LL BRING BACK BUNNY EARS IN NO TIME!!!

Yea I don’t want bunny ears either. pffffft. worst item ever. don’t bring it back don’t EVER bring it back.

…OK now we wait to see if this reverse psychology has worked. Consider the trap: set.

CandyHearts.6025:

Minx.7521:

Would pay 2000 gems for bunny ears.

And I would pay the 200 they were the last time they were on sale.

:C

I need them but I’m also stingy.

That’s not stingy at all! I’m just extra-super-desperate

Would pay 2000 gems for bunny ears.

^same face for lack of bunny ears too. At least the hood was brought back once. Bunny ears was just out once

If there’s ANY possibility of blooms being reworked into another set of rewards, I’m not using them to buy sand. Grinding for this was painful. Thanks for the answer and I will be banking my blooms.

AliceKaye.1903:

Create as many as you want to play. Who cares how many others have?

I saw a signature on GW2RP’s forum with like 50 characters on it. I was a bit taken aback, but I think I only have 6, because that’s all the money I’ve put into expanding my troupe. That being said, I’ve also deleted like four different 80’s.

I say if you want fifteen, go for it!

You’re a really encouraging person, go you!
You basically said what I wanted to say WE SHUD B FRENZ!!!

Because I don’t have enough to buy shoulders/gloves, but I would have a bit more if they decide to reuse it as a different currency :P

I was wondering if we should KEEP the mordrem blooms in case they bring it back in the future as another form of currency, or should we just spend it?

Nope. Just wanted the bunny ears. Nopenopenopenope.

No bunny ears. Meh. Would’ve bought it for 2k gems.

I just want BUNNY EARS.

Just a flesh wound.3589:

Minx.7521:

Yea, like bunny ears. They can bring it back for 2k gems, and people would still buy them. Like me. Seriously ANet, people have been requesting this for AGES, I don’t know why you all want feedback if you don’t listen to it.

They do read our feedback about putting in the gemstore the Bunny Ears and the Grenth Hood. The eyeglasses and the Toxic armor pieces. They do!

Glad we’re making someone happy :P

Elyk Mai.6401:

Let’s hope Anet does something big for their last day of sales!

LIKE BUNNY EARS?? I’d be happy if they put up bunny ears.

Yes, this would be awesome! hairstyles/faces/hair colors

Yea, like bunny ears. They can bring it back for 2k gems, and people would still buy them. Like me. Seriously ANet, people have been requesting this for AGES, I don’t know why you all want feedback if you don’t listen to it.

This makes me soooooooooo happy ^.^

Yeaaa I don’t know why they’re not bringing it back. Even piercing is better than nothing. P/P is probably too OP, like Ausfer said :P

“Mitigate future damage”

kitten . that’s a bleak view of the future for thieves :P not that i’m any more hopeful.

ANet so thoughtful and always watching out for noobs and thieves. As a thief, +1. As a noob, another +1.

PLEASE if a dev sees this bring the bunny ears back…

I, as well as MANY others (I’m sure), will shell out BIG GEM MONIES for them!!!!! THANKS!!!

I agree with this post so much I logged on just to post support. Get your cats together Ellen and Rox.

Thank you so much for answering. I’ve been stressed out about that … lol ….

Thank you again for a clear answer!!!!!!!!!!!

Say I get 1 point in gliding, but swap to gain xp for mushroom jumping, do I still get to glide around or do I need to switch back to gliding for that to happen?

Basically: if I unlocked a mastery ability, do I need to stay on that Mastery line to keep its benefits or is it unlocked on all my characters forever?

Thank you!

I am wondering if Beta weekends have achievements that we can only unlock during the Beta. Thank you, if anyone knows!

Stay with new masterrace Engis tbh.

Agreed. I like p/p but can you imagine people letting p/p thieves into 40+ fractals? Playing p/p = social death.

I thank you for the last paragraph. I <3 pistols, but I can’t play pistols, otherwise people will NEVER EVER EVER freaggin EVER let me in on their dungeon/fractal teams. Actually I wouldn’t even let me in 40 fractal/ speed dungeon runs. Sad. So sad.

Jesiah.2457:

DT even combined with Potent Poisons & a runeset focused on enhancing poison duration isn’t even worth it for thieves.

If you want to stack poison, go with leeching venoms / venomous aura, you don’t need Dagger Training and you certainly don’t need Potent Poisons either, the damage buff and duration is completely negligible. They are both utter jokes, end of story.

Seriously … I mean if you try them, have fun feeling even less effective especially when compared to your now god-tier burst thief counterparts. 11k backstabs in spvp not even WvW! 6k Heartseekers, I don’t really need to say anything more.

Edit: Also, because “Arenanet” as reasons, screw ricochet giving the already mocked and laughed at pistol thieves even more of a reason to be laughed at and mocked. Anet obviously doesn’t care about thieves and whoever is in charge of thief traits doesn’t understand condi thieves beyond the core mechanic of “burst works, lets focus on this and nothing else because I’m literally too ignorant to focus on anything else and hope it’s decent.”

Seriously, mad props to how fail Anet is.

Why is guardian forums as bad as thief forums? >.< I thought guardian traits were great (compared to the load thieves got). Can someone explain to me what this update did that nerfed guards so badly?

Blooperz’s is probably the best idea for PvP. I tend to play centered around invisibility in fractals/PvE. The changes they’ve been doing is terrible in terms of how I like to play my thief

I think the new guardian traits are GREAT! If you feel bad about guard traits, hop on to the thief forums for perspective. As of today, I’m no longer a thief main ^.^ Hello guards, glad to join your honorable ranks with fantastic traits ^.^

Why anet? WHY?!

Yummy, thief’s tears…

I hope this isn’t a bug. This is what some players want in terms of counterplay. Now they just need to add it to other stealth attacks.

ok what now?

Duo-pistol was my first thing Loved it. Then several months into the game I realized that it wasn’t meant to be an ACTUAL game-playable build.
If something gets done about p/p i’ll come back to p/p thief, but for now, last day as a thief main, first day as a guardian main :P

What BobbyT said. They took out ricochet all quietly like they’ll probably “fix” that quietly too.

Yea … rerolling engi masterclass might help with any type of fighting.

+1 for “little zoo”

Yes because LA is almost as ugly as my personality right now.

+2 to OP for being nice in face of unpleasantry.

Loboling.5293:

The new specialization will get the trident and be called Aquaman. We wanted players to feel the roots of where this specialization comes from. We were obviously inspired by the Aquaman comics for this. The Thief will finally learn that one of his parents is a sea dweller. However, upon returning to the sea to visit his family, a coup is organized; which plunges the underwater heaven into hell. Players specializing as Aquaman can communicate with fish as a replacement for their steal ability. Using it on land will have a lesser effect, but the closer Aquaman is to water, the stronger he is. The new skill type will be minions, with an Elite ability to summon a giant Kraken. These minions are very powerful, so to counter-balance the abilities, the minions will only summon to nearby water, and if possible, walk from there when used on land.

If you think that’s exciting, wait until the big reveal on Friday.

I think you should seriously consider a career in novel writing. That was an epic ride from start to finish XD

and that would be our new HoT weapon? I would cry, but at the same time, feed off of the tears of thieves worldwide

I made a second thief character just to run pistol/pistol/pistol/pistol with quick hands and warrior runes for constant swapping for constant pew-pew. He’s the unsneakiest thief of all time. He does very well.

I had to choose between Ricochet or Invigorating Precision and I always chose Ricochet.

Not as unsneaky as my thief. I go d/d and p/p. I never use dagger 5. None of my utilities have stealth. The only time I do stealth is because I’m bad and have the fall damage trait.

Can’t let that ground see you, confuse the crap out of that grass.

You, sir/madam, get a +1.

I thought it was highlarious XD
