Guild Wars 2

I feel like most ele players go 30 in arcane. The reason for this is twofold: Evasive Arcana, and the 60% reduction in attunement swap cooldown. I feel like most of the recent patches by arenanet have been an attempt at making us try new things with our builds. For example, the change to bountiful power made players stop going 30 in water as much, and the addition of fresh air gave us something new to try. I think if the cooldowns on attunement swaps were set to 9 1/4 seconds by default and the -2% cooldown per point were changed to something else, or if they were set somewhere in between 9 1/4 and 15 and the -2% cooldown per point was changed to -1% cooldown per point, players would be much more inclined to try new things. Maybe they could make traiting into fire more viable or something.

Thoughts?

None of the gold I’m earning on the trading post is showing up in my pickup tab. I’ve tested this several times by selling items directly to buy orders, and then checking my pickup tab. I can clearly see the money being withdrawn from my wallet for the listing fee and sale fee, but no money shows up either when I open the trading post pickup tab, or when I talk to a trading post representative and try to take my profits.

I might also have the same bug for items, because I placed buy orders for some storage boxes, and they’re no longer listed in my buy orders, but when I check my pickup tab, the boxes aren’t there, so I don’t know where the boxes went. Items I bought before the Queen’s Jubilee patch but didn’t pick up are still there. There’s a ton of jewelry in there right now and I worried to take it out and resell it if the money is going to disappear.

Every gambit gives you one extra loot bag. Its the same bag you get for beating the enemy. So you can either spend one ticket for one bag, or spend x tickets for x bags. Its a dumb system because the ticket to loot bag ratio doesn’t increase for making many gambits, so the only advantage is that you get rewards faster. I’d say only do it for the challenge.

Chadramar.8156:

Not only that, but killing people who fail a challenge is … really skeevy, in terms of theme. Is this Rome, where hordes of sadistic freaks were screeching for the public slaughter and torture of gladiators and prisoners in the Circus Maximus? Or is it a supposedly half-decent, half-civilized society celebrating the prowess of its heroes? Who’s going to save everyone’s hides from the real enemies out there if all these fighters are deliberately killed when they don’t spec glass cannon DPS as everyone apparently “should” take a second too long to kill a pretend-enemy?

You should know by now that Anet doesn’t really care about story plausibility when implementing mechanics.

Is anyone else as disappointed as me with the champion drop dagger skins? After seeing cobalt I figured there would be some cool dagger skins too. Nope. No daggers version of vision of the mists. No dagger from super adventure box. Why des Ante hate designing daggers so much?

Seriously, would it be so hard to just make a smaller cobalt or something and call it a dagger? I’d be happy with even that. It would give me something new to get after using Ghastly Daggers and Corrupted Shards since hitting 80.

My ele and thief yearn for some of those fancy particle effects.

What’s the reason behind having the tickets at all? Really like the gauntlet, but it’s the opposite of rewarding because I lose so much gold buying tickets.

Dear Anet, please stop hating on elemetalists. We deserve some new weapon (daggers, scepters, staves) that don’t look aweful. Look at cobalt. Please please please make a dagger version of it. It’s so cool. This is just like with Vision of the mists, where daggers got no love, even though it would have been so easy.

Please. Give us new daggers with particle effects like cobalt. I love that weapon, and want a dagger version for my ele.

I too wish I could get the wings to stop flapping…
