I would remove the rally chance from Vengeance and make it available much faster. In essence, it would be your “kitten it, I’m going to die anyway” ability and would live well up to its name.

Celestial armor

Tom Gore.4035

You’re assuming the price of quartz crystals doesn’t shoot through the roof once the Bazaar is gone?

I’m assuming that, just by doing your normal questing and dungeons while the event is still on, you’re gonna have enough quartz for a full set of armor – we’re not talking about investing time to farm the thing, it’s literaly being given to you in bulk for doing nothing out of the ordinary.
Since you can’t sell the armor, you only need to craft it once and be done with it. What happens with the price of quartz after that is irrelevant (unless you have to re-craft ascended Celestial armor from scratch, that is).

So you’re saying everyone and their mother will have 6000 crystals in their bank to cover all 8 characters they have? Granted they will get more from the home node, but in most cases the supply will be smaller than demand.

What happens if we don't get the quartz node?

The price of Quartz will definitely go up after the nodes in bazaar and the baskets in the open world are gone, for sure. How high is anyone’s guess.

Couple questions about Sigils

in Warrior

Posted by: Tom Gore.4035

Tom Gore.4035

Two simple questions.

Do on-kill sigils do anything on a warhorn? I.e. do they work, as the warhorn itself does not kill anything?

Second question, does the Sigil of Intelligence only confer its crit bonus on the exact weapon it is on, or any next attack. I.e. could I swap and use a physical skill, for example?

Still no word on Guild Halls?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Tom Gore.4035

Well I hope that if/when they are taking this god kitten long to implement guild halls, when they eventually do, it will blow our minds.

Personally I’m hoping that the guild halls will be “integrated” into the open world and not instanced, but probably not.

Why Are There 3 Of The Same Map?

in WvW

Posted by: Tom Gore.4035

Tom Gore.4035

A lack of Budget and Time.

Also Nexon/NCsoft/Anet doesn’t see WvW as a huge money maker.

Ironic because it’s by far the most popular/successful PVP mode in this game.

Yeah, but I have a feeling pure WvW players spend less money on the gem store than pure PvE players. Simple mathematics.

Belcher's Bluff Versus Mode

I think it does show the activity symbol. It’s just the same as the box symbol so now with tons of boxes everywhere it might be difficult to find the bluff table.

Could use the same symbol as they used with the NPCs.

Instead of giving the current weapons to additional professions, I’d love to see some additional weapons added, plus new slottable skills for the current weapons. Like we can change our utilities, it would be nice to be able to switch some skills with your weapon too.

From new weapons, a battleaxe (2-handed) and a crossbow stand out as missing currently.

Why the "talking heads" approach to dialogue?

Tom Gore.4035

Never thought about the skipping part. They should definitely add an option to skip them with the non-marionette style too, lest they would be kitten ing off people who are playing their 8th+ character.

Still, I think Pariah hits the nail. More cost efficient, less chance for awkward bugs and because they can.

And people like the OP make all games become facebook games where you get your achievements by logging in and clicking “yes”.

I don’t want “most people” to come to my favourite MMO and turn it into a zero-challenge “game”.

Removing JP or make them optional

in Living World

Posted by: Tom Gore.4035

Tom Gore.4035

Ok the only one in the list that could be argued would be a JP would be Kite Bombing, however you are not doing the JP in the intended form (you are supposed to get a bomb over to the chest without being hit). As a JP its extremely hard but just to get to the kite its a simple path and no tricky jumping.

Actually you get the JP achi without the bomb, too. The bomb is completely optional and your only reward for doing it with the bomb is the chest with 2-3 greens and blues. You don’t even get a special achievement for doing it with the bomb. Just bragging rights (if you can prove it).

Why the "talking heads" approach to dialogue?

in Personal Story

Posted by: Tom Gore.4035

Tom Gore.4035

I don’t get it. You’ve got a pretty graphics engine, speech bubbles and all the shiz, yet you opt to do most of the dialogue in the instances with “talking heads” approach.

Why?

You could have done all the emotes, talk and stuff in the game engine ending up with a much more attached experience. Freeze the player in place, move him automatically to a convenient position, whatever. Just don’t teleport us out of the world and into a marionette show.

I seriously hope the next parts of dialogue will ditch this approach and use the game engine instead.

Too bad, I pretty much need new professions or level cap.

What good would a new level cap do except make all the current top-end gear worthless? You really want to farm all your gear again just for the fun of it?

As for new professions, not planned at the moment. New weapons/skill sets for current professions? Maybe.

When will we get new WvW maps?

in WvW

Posted by: Tom Gore.4035

Tom Gore.4035

Well, since we are on the subject. Make taking a Keep a requirement for further access to the Map. I also thought it silly how the enemy could just go straight for Garrison. IMO you should have to flip Hills or Bay first, before you can get a crack at Garri.

Good idea in theory, but it would only work to increase zerging, which we have in abundance already.

If you have one of those Boxs of Fun from the Achievement point system rewards. Use it just before you start the Belcher Bluff with him. Make sure its set to only Change Appearance, ( doesn’t matter much but easier ). Then when you start the Belcher with him, just click the box to transform and watch your health instantly be refilled each time. Just make sure you re transform. Laugh as he dies slowly.

Win.

If this is true you are a freaking genius. This will be nerfed, I can feel it. Definitely sounds like it was not intended to work like this.

Too bad they nerf stuff that lets us pass BUGS they don’t fix… like water/juice reversed %

The ratios are correct. Adnul just is a bit too tough. Others are pushovers.

If water would heal 20% and drink would damage 10%, the games would never end.

How peculiar it is mostly non-GW1 players who are able to appreciate what GW2 has to offer.

Or maybe we just didn’t like GW1, but like GW2 because it’s quite a different game.

Nah. The best solution to fix this problem would be making holding towers/keeps worth more than capturing them.

And I mean on the personal reward level, not the realm point level. I dare to say that 90% of WvW players don’t give a rat’s behind about the realm score as long as they keep getting exp/karma/gold from capturing camp after tower after keep and letting them fall 10 seconds after they leave so they can recapture them again.
