Guild Wars 2

Race: Human

Class: Mesmer

Armor Type: Light – Whisper’s Cowl – Honor of the waves / Svanir Chestguard – Mad King’s Shoulders – Embroidered Pants

Weapon: Fractal Greatsword

Issues:

There’s multiple clipping / render issues in regards to the items listed. When wearing the Svanir chestguard with Mad King’s Shoulders the shoulders tend to Clip with the front of the Chestguard. When wearing the Whisper’s Cowl with Svanir Chestguard, the guard tends to clip badly over the Cowl. The Embroidered Pants Sash clips through the legs at the front. Fractal Greatsword trailing animation is coming from the middle of the sword instead of the back when wielded and stowed. I love using the Embroidered Pants because it’s one of the only Male light armors that doesn’t have a skirt or tail attached to it. Please fix this

New look… Not many Light armor sets that have just pants w/o skirts or other add-ons. Messed around with a few different sets and this is what I came up with. Looks a little Middle Eastern, I kinda like it

I 100% Agree with OP, Fractals needs some serious fixing.. at the very least add the existing Ascended gear to the merchants already.. It’s so stupid that you cannot get ascended accessories or necklaces from FoTM Merchants instead you’re forced to do dailys and guild missions. Stupidest idea ever, why even make a dungeon that has a “new Damage” type if you can not even obtain the items required to progress by participating in that Dungeon.
Area Net, PLEASE FIX Fractals or add the existing items to FoTM merchants I don’t care if it cost 3k regular or 50 – 100 pristine relics at least make there a way for us to get the gear we NEED and put these useless plethora of tokens to use.

Pandora For The Win

I mentioned this yesterday in the WvW section didn’t realize that there was a forum for suggestions :P Nevertheless this idea came from an MMO I use to play years ago, Dark Ages of Camelot.
It would be cool if ANET added a WvW dungeon. A large world instance like Eternal
Battle grounds or like all 3 of the Borderlands and EB put together that had Legendary
and Champion bosses, as well as tokens ( ie Fractal Relics or some other type of currency. I only suggested Fractal Relics because they’re already in the game and need to have more purpose ) That can only be access via most Points tick in WvW or most Keeps / Towers held or most Relics / Orbs held. Another thought is to add Agony DMG to this dungeon to add more uses for AR other that just Fractals of The Mist. I’ll reference Darkness Falls from Dark Ages of Camelot, for those unfamiliar with the game and dungeon check out this link : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Age_of_Camelot

here’s a brief Description of Darkness Falls –
In April 2002 Mythic introduced a new dungeon. The ‘new’ idea behind this dungeon is the fact that only one realm at a time is owner of the dungeon and can enter through the homeland and the relic-keeps. It is the realm who holds the most of the available rvr-keeps. Whenever another realm conquers more forts the entrance for the opposing realms will be closed but other realm-members still in the dungeon can remain and will fight to survive against monsters and realm-opponents.
Darkness Falls is the most unique dungeon that Mythic created.
“Realms” would be replaced by Servers of course and some other mechanics like the lvl scaling could be adjusted by scaling everyone to 80 and make it more difficult by adding more Agony DMG the deeper you go into the Dungeon so that everyone can play.
This idea is far form polished however the idea of adding a WvW dungeon is a start in general. ANET already has a WvW chart that can be used to determine which server has access to this Dungeon, furthermore the Relics or Orbs can be used to determine this to avoid “Tipping the scales” on the Server vs Server match-ups. A name or location for this Dungeon?? Insert Fissure of the Woe or Underworld from GW1.

Best Looking Mesmer Ever! Here’s he is the one the only… Pimpcanes Anonymous

Anyone who has played Dark Ages of Camelot remembers Darkness Falls….. It was a PvE Dungeon that had 3 separate entrances for each of the 3 opposing realms that would open if that realm had favor ( Hiberina, Albion, Midgard via Relics or the realm that had the most Keeps / Towers ) and would allow you to RvR or in GW2 terms WvW in the dungeon. It was tons of fun and made for some interesting battles
I strongly believe this game needs a WvW dungeon like Darkness Falls, would add tons of ways to get new gear IE ascended while adding endgame content for everyone, PvP and PvEers alike. I strongly believe newer MMOs tend to undermine the re-playability of PvP in their games, or make it too linear. It gives purpose to endless grinds and farming for Elite gear or “best in slot” items, thus making it more rewarding to play in general. I worked hard to get to 80 now what…. go head to head in the ultimate who’s the best of the best match-up. It’s an endless battle of who is the best / strongest, adding a ranking system viewable online that updates daily or weekly would be awesome also. Just food for though perhaps I’m a little nostalgic about DAoC in my eyes it was and still is in many ways one of the best MMOs I’ve ever played for It’s time and had a very in depth PvP system.

I feel your pain with the RNG system, however recently I only had 1 skin ( Pistol obtained at lvl 20 or 22 can’t remember and had completed over 450+ fractals and about 80-90 dailies. I just hit the 40s last week and since then have gotten 3 more skins. The drop rate definitely seems to be higher in the 40+ fractals IMO I got the shield on my 1st 40, Warhorn on the next daily ( lvl 48 ) and Torch last night ( lvl 48 again ) my PL is now 49. I want the sword skin but I guess I’ll just have to keep doing my 48 dailies until i get one. Hope this helps you on your quest for your Fractal Skin

My only beef with “perma-stealth” is not being able to attack my attacker. It’s extremely annoying to get attacked by someone and not being able to attack back only for that person to stealth and attack you again. As a Mesmer I can not attack something if it’s not targeted, rendering my attacks useless. possible fixes

1. Make thieves not able to restealth when attacking ( if stealth is the only means of defense then make it primarly a defense utility not a way to troll other players ) up their initial burst / stealth dmg and be done with it.

2. Add a stealth lore like in many other mmo’s like DAoC, making the shadowry figure show up when they are in close proximity ( as per lvl of character or spec line, anyone who played DAoC knows what I’m talking about

3. Another possible fix is make the target reappear upon breaking stealth on a thief that’s attacking another player giving that person a chance to attack before they restealth.

At the end of the day Thieves are a “Gank” class and if i get killed by one that doesn’t cheese me so be it. The players who abused stealth and culling ultimately ruined it for everyone.
