Valento.9852:

Because making a gold grind is much much easier than creating a decent challenge envolving tactics and complex strategies, some simply don’t have the brainpower for such.

The problem would be creating challenging content for a single player… and making it balanced. I remember the quests for a legendary staff in WOW and some of them were trivial for some classes while, at the same time, frustrating for others.

Then make it party-wide, if after finishing the challenge I had gotten the precursor I would still go on with friends, even if it was a weekly (maybe monthly?) challenge.

ANet should expand top-reward stuff, for example, they could have orbs to improve armor effects. AC would have Ghastly Orbs to give your armor ghost clouds flying all over, for example; Citadel of Flame would have small swirling fires going up; TA would have little butterflies with tiny flower trails around the armor.

I don’t know what else, another thing to work for to split the goals, I would work for effects as they simply are cool.

Vol.5241:

Legendaries need to be even rarer.

I agree, they need to be even rarer, not even grindier.

@OnTopic, don’t forget t6 matts are also used to other weapon skins than just legendaries.

Wow, I haven’t seen that video before… man, that’s very hard work on their part. :O

I’m fine with the professions cause they’ll certainly add more weapons, which means more skills that can change a lot of things including balance.
Races are never too many!

Meh not really, the combat is fast-paced, 2second of knockdown = your death.

Actually I think this is one of the better bosses, most of the games bosses aren’t soloable at all, Gargantula can be even if it is very very difficult.

The most difficult part of that fight I ever encountered was having to fix my manicure(after 5 min of 1-2-3-4-5 pressing, my finger slipped and a nail broke Q.Q). I could never view endless hp as difficult. Now, if there was a fine mechanic to prevent the healing…as it is right now you basically put your glass cannon shoes on, mash buttons for 10 min and hope your dps is high enough to take it down before the timer ends.

Guess what? Simin from Arah (path 4) is just like that!

No, and no, though I’m expecting Tengu and Largos to be playable races.

Those boxes may hold lodestones too.

Because making a gold grind is much much easier than creating a decent challenge envolving tactics and complex strategies, some simply don’t have the brainpower for such.

I think ANet is just letting the loot problem go away by its own, but unfortunately it won’t, I hope they realize if they don’t fix it people will never stop talking about it, the loot is genuinely trash.

That one was fairly easy for me.

Geez, people are never happy with changes.

Chorel.1720:

That looks very boring to be honest. Unless it has some nice effects most people wouldn’t look twice at it.

In a world full of uninteresting staves, Final Rest has my respect (though not suitable for my elementalist).

There’s no ascended rings with utility slot.

Quaggan likes you! <3

And… considering AR shows as standard in Hero’s Panel… who knows.

I agree, Amulets should cost 20 pristine relics or so.

@Edit
Although the prices on laurel vendor (35L each ring, 30L amulet) makes me think they want people to get rings on FotM and amulets by spending laurels.

I think the devs are just sad you keep asking for Cantha/Elona/whatever instead of enjoying the already built world. lol

Someone already mentioned but I’d like Fishing too, NPCs fish everywhere, and we have deep waters in some places that could add interesting achievements.
I just like fishing!

Lost the Pumpkin Carving some weeks ago… but still hold the title.

@Edit
Uh… also, the daily achievement shows the last daily requirements, not the actual ones, it gets fixed 1 hour after server reset.

evolverzilla.2359:

If they add an option to not show and not receive packets from minipets of other people I´m all for this.

I don´t need more kitten in my screen to lower my fps and clog my connection.

If your fps gets low because of a few pets on your screen….i think its time for an upgrade buddy.

True, and it’s not ANet’s fault because people can simply choose to have their pets on, so the problem is not with the pets but, again, your computer.

Oh I didn’t see this thread, but yes I support this, add a small permanent slot for minis in Hero’s Panel pls?

People simple don’t like minis on their bag, at least the majority of them because of “Deposit All Collectibles” option, why not making a special slot to put them? It could be Hero’s Panel, I rarely see people actually using them while doing most of the game content like WvW, dungeons, FotM, etc…
Also, I’m not sure if that’s the real problem, but it’s annoying having them slotted in bags just as it is now. Thoughts?

I’d have two.. /15chars

Iruwen.3164:

Is that so much of a problem elsewhere? We were doing the temple events all the time all day long on Drakkar Lake EU, and that server isn’t even particularly highly populated iirc. Maybe they should consolidate some NA servers if they’re that empty.

That is not the case, people simply don’t like to do Temple of Balthazar, instead they do dungeons or WvW or sPvP.

Firegoth.6427:

Trolling is your best weapon.
Use it.

Trolling > Elitism

But do it with style and grace.

How you troll a party that kicks you because they need another warrior to set up the 4 war+1 mes trinity group?

My female sylvari has lightened up thoughout the time, still missing The Bifrost (gifts finished 2 months ago).
Say ‘hello’ to Kallyah!

I dropped the Limitless Furnace trident from a chicken some days ago, yea gotta farm’em all!

The only thing I want buffed are the rewards. Enough said.

The most hated Djinn to date.

Ah, the old ever-growing problem with rewards in the game…

eXs.6210:

I haven’t gotten anything useful from shatter in weeks…

Never got a single rare from Shatterer.

Truth is, RNG will never translate into L2P, it’s not even close to that.

My Dead Characters.9517:

i doubt it, because the signet doesnt give the normal regen buff, it has its own special regen, gives a different buff, and therefore i doubt it is affected too. if you want a lot of regen go as a banner warrior with healing power.

There’s a note in the wiki page, people must’ve tested it…

Moof.5269:

so to boost the passive regeneration on my signet, getting more “healing power” will boost my regen? just clarifying is all.

That’s probably the case yes, but try modifying the Healing Power attribute and check if it affects the passive regen.

That is so sad.

Typo. They refer to the same thing.

Jesus the UI elements are already so minimal, why ppl still complain? o.o

Narkosys.5173:

Dont give in and dont do it. That is the only way to stop it.
DO NOT GET A LEGENDARY.

when that stops you will see them scramble that is the only pressure that will work.

Not as such. Just don’t buy precursors from TP to stop the ever-raising prices. The Legend has just gone too far up from the 500g mark, it is the most stupid thing ever.

Vick.6805:

The base staff skins aren’t bad.

My opinion is that staves need the same particle effect and aura effects that the rest of the weapon types receive. Why do we have so many attractive particle effects on other types of weapons and such mediocre ones on staves? It makes no sense. The best example I can think of is comparing the Corrupted Branch to other Corrupted weapons. The staff’s particle effect is hardly visible unless you zoom in and look for it.

Yeah that’s what I’m saying, staffs do need some care since the game is about hunting skins… =<

People, it’s about plain comparison c’mon… look at other weapons, there are just a few staves that have decent particle effects and it wouldn’t be so hard to add a mists version of staff. For now I can only remember a few nice ones: Corrupted Branch, Ghastly Staff from AC (only at night), and Bifrost, I’m not counting particle effects that don’t pop out of the staff (like Destroyer or Molten ones).

PS.: Wow I forgot ‘staff’ may refer to something else in English. o_o

I was playing with my ele, then I cast Lightning Hammer because a guy wanted to see how it looks on him so he could go after Mjolnir and then… I realized one thing.
We have Twilight and Sunrise for greatswords, we have Kudzu and The Dreamer for bows, we have Quip for pistols… all of them have both pink AND blue effect “mists” version, and staff got none.

I would love to see a mists staff, or better, a Lightning Staff with the same effect as Mjolnir… it frustrates me because of the lack of actually beautiful staves, many elementalists wander around proud of carrying the title of “elemental mage” bearing a staff and yet, most of them are so UGLY, there are only a few very cool but suited mostly for necromancers.

So what do the community think? Am I the only elementalist feeling this way? =|

TheDaiBish.9735:

…

• Skills Have Additional Effects When Criteria Are Met – This, IMO, was what added depth to the GW system, and not the sheer number of skills. For example, Teinai’s Crystals would deal damage, but also apply Cracked Armour if they were suffering from a Water Hex. This allowed people to build skills that chained together for devastating effect when used properly.

OMG this! I miss this so much.

Guys, is it just me or does someone else also think ANet is expanding way too much the rewards systems?
I mean, why not just put the items to purchase for karma? They brought those Jewelry Boxes, Obsidian Shards everywhere, etc etc. Won’t this become a mess in the future?

I’d love to see a dev comment on this a little bit more in-depth.

There is the Risen Plaguebringer (it uses necro-like biting skills lol), you can dodge it and complete very quick and it’s not big damage…

I vote for additional skill mechanics (like combos!), this way there wouldn’t be a skill spam on the screen but still more possibilities. As I said once, I’d love to see profession-only combo requiring like 3-4 people to channel its effect, could be massive or just a temporary buff.

ColinJohanson.2394:

One thing worth checking is what effective fractal level your party is playing at, though nothing about loot rewards in fractals changed, we did change the system allowing what levels of fractal you could play with others which means you might simply be qualifying for much lower fractal levels (and thus loot).

The “level” of loot dropped for a player is the min of fractal scale and reward level. The reward level will still be displayed in the UI as a higher number than the fractal scale which might be cause for confusion, reward wise you’re still earning items based on the actual fractal scale you’re playing in. We display your personal rank because the players are awarded extra karma if there personal rank is over the current fractal scale.

You can add a second person to your list of people getting items, in my two fractal runs since the January release I’ve got an exotic and three rares. So there ya go!

Oh so that’s it, it was confusing me yes. I’m sincerely thankful for the clarification!

There are quite a good amount of backpieces in the game but they don’t display anything at all, I sure would love to see some of those on my char’s back! =0

More or less like the dragons, but not THAT exact way, this makes me think of Valento from Priston Tale (hint my id lol) or other similar creatures that drop specific and very desirable stuff.

This would fit incredibly well in this game, these could be legendary n.m bosses.

People don’t need to be so mad, it was just a suggestion, and yes would take a long time because legendaries should take a long time as stated by the devs long ago; the flaw isn’t the players’ IMHO, many people got their legendaries too quickly (1month or less) so the design is broken since the very beginning, and honestly it’s a shame to put a single item to live up to “long-term commitment”.

@Edit
The laurel system for example, you can see your progress little by little and while you KNOW it’ll take long you at least have the certainty you will get there one day.
