The suggestions forum isn’t open anymore so I don’t really know where to put this. If this is the wrong place then, of course, please feel free to move it to the appropriate subforum.
Anyhow…
I just watched Unity 3D’s announcement video on Unity 5, and saw this awesome character in it. Would really fit well with the new Mistforged Hero weapon skins, and also fill in the lack of armors capable of making female characters mystical/scary/intimidating. Oh, and it would be awesome if it looked somewhat the same across armor types/professions, at least the mask and cloth hood.
So… that’d be great.
Well, a third Heavy Armor class would be nice. But this just sounds like a guardian.
No.
If anything, Anet should make DPS the least efficient way to do stuff. Maybe removing the holy trinity wasn’t such a good idea after all?
I think Titan Quest had a nice system for this, where they randomized which attack animation would play, i.e. the left hand or right hand animation.
But that would require that Anet reworked their attack animations and their animation system, which may require too much effort for such a minor concern.
People never seem to realize how much work stuff like this would require…
Human or Thin/Normal Norn. Hate over-the-top norns with max body width and kitten. Deforms the armor model, especially shoulderplates which tend to look warped.
And charr are just ugly, whatever they wear. Except medium armor hats, which makes them look like over-sized cats with miniature toy-hats. Soooo ridiculous.
Though best animation goes to Asura. Too bad that chest, legs and boots is either totally wrecked or unnoticable on them, though.
I remember making my human warrior max height, and then a norn female with min height… but she appears to be a tad taller than him still. Same goes for a sylvari male I saw yesterday and I was like ‘wtf, that sallad be taller than me?’… But then it seems that the most buff body-type gives you 1 or 2 inches extra… can anyone confirm this?
I think there are easier ways to create the diversity we want without forcing ArenaNet to continuously create brand new content. Remove armor restrictions. Increase stat bonuses on light armor slightly and decrease them slightly on heavy armors to account for the variation in armor values, but remove the mechanic that players can only wear a certain type of armor.
Do that, and we’ll have robed guardians, armored mesmers, rangers which look like they might belong to a military scout unit — all sorts of creativity options open up. Then the only thing to do is periodically add themed armor like ArenaNet is already doing.
Failing that, an alternative is to borrow an idea from LOTRO and create a costume panel that overrides the worn armor of the character to create a more personalized appearance. Give the transmutation stones an option to turn an armor piece into a costume piece that acts only as a cosmetic skin for the costume panel. Once made a costume piece, it wears as that — armor restrictions, again, would not apply. So you could take light gloves, medium chest and legs, and combine it all with a heavy shoulder and helm to create something all your own. And since transmutation are involved, and retain their current use, ArenaNet can still make money off people trying to look the way they want.
Lotro idea could work, works for EQ2 (never played EQ1 so don’t know how it works there) too. First idea wouldn’t work, because then you would have to rework all classes and make significant changes to skills, balance and all that.
I will crush her little tiny skull with my hammer… I promise.
But would it ‘really’ have been that hard to write our personal story with more shades of gray at least? Or making the orders more political, making decisions that may not be morally favourable but practically something “good”? The Vigil could maybe have shown to be a bit too militant at times, abusing their power and harming civilians. The mystery about OoW could have been expanded on, what do they know, and it it their right to know it? Or the Priory, filled with scientists and scholars that sometimes take their tests and experiments too far, causing innocent people to suffer from the effects?
Of course it’s ‘harder’ to write intricate political dilemmas than your everyday “oh-so-good-heroes-on-a-quest-to-save-the-world” stuff, but it would add so much depth into our characters. We’ve got some NPC characters that may not be classified as “evil” and instead rest in that grey area, but nowhere can the player choose anything other than being so purely good. Good, sure, but this valiant and almost always cheerful? Bah…
The Heavy Armor Hood needs to be Heavy Armor themed though, like a Chainmail or Scalemail hood. Another example would be a leather hood, but its got metal plates running along the edges of the hood.
Why, really? Works great with cloth only for these guys:

I’m a female player and feel no discomfort in admitting such. Should I? For me, it’s incidental and few people who play this game will ever meet me in real life, so… meh.
I agree with the kudos for Arenanet and I’d love more armour variety (practical, sexy, ridiculous, comical, kitten, creepy… more of everything) though I’ve a couple of issues with your other ideas.
Player Housing and Guild Halls would be great additions to the game but prefacing the whole thing with ‘as a woman’ doesn’t help your case. Hey, I’m a woman, I don’t have nesting instincts but I’d sure like for people to be able to build cool hangouts for their friends and guildies. So do lots of male players. Player Housing and Guild Halls are constantly being demanded, requested and begged for.
Mounts… Mounts are a divisive issue. I would hate them. I’d resent them, I’d hate the clutter they brought, the ridiculous designs that overwhelmed the armour and weaponry and landscapes. Ugh. There’s nothing associated with mounts that would make my gametime more enjoyable than it is. In many instances, mounts would detract from my enjoyment.
Others want them and there reasons are no more or less valid than my own. However, the fact that the issue is so divisive is something I think Arenanet should be aware of. Adding mounts might well drive off more players than it attracts.
If there was a system where you would actually be forced to stable your mount, half of the annoyance would disappear (for me at least) as the most irritating thing I know with mounts is people who stand in the main city in front of/inside the TP or Bank or any other important NPC with their over-sized, double-headed, flaming horse-creature with wings, blocking the vision and thinking they look soooo cool on their 200$ mount that daddy bought them.
Would love housing. Home instance + Housing = Possible.
Would love mounts. But area-based world with still sort of confined spaces + Overabundance of waypoints = Possible but unnecessary.
If the areas that makes the world were bigger, or if it was ‘true’ open-world, mounts may have had a place in the game. Now… no way.
Also…. please……. learn…… how to……. write….. properly……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… please.
Heavy Armor need hoods… and shoulder plates that cover the arm too. Medium armor needs something other than trenchcoats and masks. Light armor also needs something more than masks, and something more than just robes. For me, breaking the trenchcoat trend and introducing hoods for heavy armor users (or why not everyone?) would be the most awesome thing.
Any other ideas? Opinions?
The guy has a pull.
Yeah, but this I wrote Knocked Back… and it happens constantly just like the tornado. So yeah… it’s a bug in one of the domes. Tried another and no problem there, but still annoyed by the fact that I wasted tickets on that bugged dome.
It seems that the tornados from one of the bosses are still there, but invisible… which makes it IMPOSSIBLE to defeat Chomper. Fix this NOW Anet, I’ve already wasted enough tickets on this before I realized what was going on. And btw, I sure would want those tickets back.
Then maybe YOU can take the time with sculpting, modeling, UV mapping, texturing and coding all these assets. FOR EVERY SINGLE UPDATE
No? I though so…

godkitten this google guy sucks
I’m fine with items being extremly AP expensive, that finally gives experienced and committed players something to stand out with. That’s something I miss in Gw2, gear that you really have to fight for to get.
Everything is better than RNG, which I still consider to be NCSofts greedy, kittening moneysink invention.
Still having fun on my warr,killing like theres no tomorrow…Know your class etc etc…
I’ve played warrior since launch, and tried different build so yeah, I know the class really well. I’m in no way a “hardcore” players, but my friends and people in my guild appreciated having me with them in Fractals, Dungeons and WvW. (Warrior hasn’t had a place in sPvP, less so in tPvP, since I don’t remember when, so let’s not even talk about that.) I began to love the hammer halfway through my warrior “career”, and decided to go full hammer/shout warrior. Which went really, really well even after the nerf… up til now. Which feels strange, because even though I knew my build wasn’t optimal, I had no problems whatsoever if I played well. But now I’ve noticed such a drastic change after the latest patches that I feel like a lvl 40 character or something… can’t do anything anymore, at least not in WvW. I even sense some trouble in PvE oddly enough.
Well tbh,all i play is wvwvw.Im pretty bored of spvp in general,same thing each match.And since the latest patches,i def not feel weaker at all.Cleansin ire is doing its job really well with the removal of 3 extra conditions on top of being able to remove 6 conditions on the fly allready,when traited for restor. strength and using mending.I do a crazy amount of dmg with hammer/sword axe,and have a nice gap closer wich now cripples/immobilizes my target when traited for leg specialist ( i dont agree with the internal cd on leg specalist though,unneeded ) .Final thrust from sword is also something you might want to try out…
Ive been able to hit for 10k+ allready ( when used at the right time,it usually ends up with the player going down,)it can be a bit hard to land though since the animation basically consists of 2 moves…lift sword up…stab infront,you can miscalculate that one easily.Ive always been using hammer in wvwvw,and even that is buffed slightly now,some moves feel a bit faster,im still not sure if its needed to keep 4 to immobilize yourself..but w/e.All in all im still having fun playing my warr,n i certainly dont feel nerfed at all.I honestly think alot of people are overreacting,sicne they simply copy builds from other people and when they get touched they got no clue on what to do next…and start making threads Like the “Delete your warrior” kind of posts…
My hammer/shout build is my own, though I discovered later that it’s very much like Captain Hammer build, only WvW-fitted. So about that, no problems with knowing my own class. As I said, I’ve been playing warrior since launch.
The thing with conditions is that even though I have Cleansing Ire, Rune of the Soldier with traited shouts, mending and ofc “Shake It Off”, they are so easily reapplied. And now that the necros got a boost (which they honestly needed, though), and with blindness being so ridiculously spammable, I’m helpless. I just feel that before, I could go all the way with conditions, because I didn’t need that much damage to come out a victor in WvW battles. Besides, I relied mostly on CC, and Leg Specialist was a nice bonus for that, but now with the cooldown, it feels like a waste, not to mention how useless it is now in battles vs more than one.
But yeah, I’ve played around with the “newborn” sword, and I like the cripple on Savage Leap, as well as Final Thrust’s respectable damage output. I’ve “l2p” with the “new” warrior… though it could be compared to, idk, like losing a leg and learning to live with that; but hey, at least I got an extra finger now!
No, warrior has become weaker and weaker for some time now… to the point that I’m ready to give up.
Maybe more ARMOR. And not like, you know, LUMPS OF STONE or VEGETATION!?
Will it be done through RNG again? If so… sigh
Are you people kittening kidding me? You want the warrior, the weakest class in both PvP and WvW right now, to be nerfed? EVEN MORE? kitten this.
It’s the warrior forum. Anet doesn’t care.
/thread
Or just change blind to not be as kittening spammable as it is.
Hammer isn’t fast enough for crit stack to make any noticable difference, compared to i.e GS. And with crit chance being dependent on SoR without signet trait, you’re going to suffer as soon as that fury runs out and you have to wait the entire cooldown before you can pop it again. Cleansing Ire also only works if you have a target selected and actually hit it, or there’s no condition removal. HP isn’t you main concern though, as you have really high toughness, and conditions will be somewhat less dangerous with melandru runes. Though you should have some other means of cond removal, which would be mending, but as you want to spam burst as much as possible you should have Healing Surge, which will of course heal more, but keep those conditions ticking. Which as said, shouldn’t really be a problem.
Test it out and see if you like it yourself. Warrior is in a tough position now though, so if this proves to be a good build, don’t tell anyone. Anet will find out and nerf the kitten out of it.

GW2 is mostly a PvE game, anyway.
Still, even in PvE, zerker is the best way to go. We don’t have Heal Power, so if we go high Vitality we just kitten ourselves because in the end no heal will suffice. Toughness? No idea, you will just get all the aggro and because you have no boons and no sensible heals (unless you feel like punching enemies with the same force as a 3-year old) you will just run around, trying to stay alive. Or die.
So because you want to be good at SOMETHING and not be outclassed by every single class in everything, you have to focus on dps. Which you do best with full zerker. Sure, you can take some Knights, or maybe even Valkyries, but who are you kidding? You are just meant to stand by the side and wave your kitten (GS) at everything.
And no it’s not “mostly” about PvE. WvW is of huge interest to me and many of my friends playing this game, to the extent that WvW was the only thing we did (do) in GW2 for a long time. But since the latest patches, things have been going downhill. I used to be able to withstand backtabbing thieves and CC-own them with my hammer. No more. I used to cleanse conditions like a boss mid-zerg, but now they are so easily re-applied and high-damage that it doesn’t help. I used to chase enemy invaders with my friends and lock them all down with my Leg Specialist for 1 second, which was enough. No more. Before, I could do all this, because I sacrificed a lot of damage in favor of CC and support in smaller groups or zergs. So in no way did I have the “best” warrior build before, but I managed to actually be a true support warrior, and people didn’t complain “Uhh dude, whai r u not zzzerker buildz0rz??”.
But now… Survivability, though it wasn’t the strongest warrior attribute before, is totally worthless now. Conditions are not worth it. CC for warrior does the opposite of what a melee class requires most of the time. Healing Power? HAH! Dps is the only thing left for us. Which is boring. Not dps in itself, but the lack variation.
As the title says. You could say I’ve pretty much given up hope about warrior. Since I first started playing medieval/fantasy games, I’ve always chosen a warrior-type class. It fits me like a glove, and in GW2, this has been the case also… up til now.
I’ve never been interested in running Zerker build, cause I like to be somewhat of a tank or at least be able to sustain some damage while dishing out a acceptable amount of punishment to my enemies. But it seems to me that though it has always been popular (and for a reason) it has never been “required”- well, at least to this day.
Now, there are thieves who have perma-stealth and almost perma-blind, eles that have escapability and AoE one can only dream of, necros who can now punish you for even moving around, guardians with better sustain AND better dps than us, rangers who can put you in place and evade your every attack, and even get up again when downed lightning fast, and engis who can CC the kitten out of you and stack so much conditions in the same time that you can (as a cond-remove warrior) only stand and take the hits til’ your HP bar runs out. Mesmer is the only class that I cannot notice a difference with, but they are still a pain in the kitten for obvious reasons.
And I’m in no way yelling “Plz N3rf teh odr cl4ss3s, I wantz mai Warz to RULEZ THEM ALL”, rather am I sad that I can’t do anything against anything anymore, unless I have zerker gear and zerker build that is. And then maybe. Only maybe.
We warriors are forced into one narrow path, and build diversity is an expression soon to be forgotten by everyone playing this class. The rest has to taste the kittening donkey balls and play in PvE all day long, because this kid isn’t capable of playing with the other kids in the schoolyards. This kid is an outsider who is doomed to play by himself in lowly fractals and occasional dungeons. No WvW or sPvP for YOU!
So bye bye my dear warrior, and hello… guardian or whatevs.
TL;DR
Warrior is lost. kitten you Anet.
The cinematics team really knocked it out of the park. The June team took some chances with the noir feel, writing style, and design and art choices. Honestly, I wasn’t sure how it would be received. Glad that some folks are “getting” the concept, as it’s not as common in fantasy MMOs.
What I personally love about it is not the whole noir style and play on clichés (which in itself is charming) but more that it reeks of quality. It succeeds to express emotion, mystery and atmosphere in a cool and dynamic way that I’ve yet to see in another mmorpg. THIS is how the personal story should’ve been told to us… though I realize stuff like this takes time and time is scarce in this business.
Funny thing is, in all of the threads I’ve seen about this RNG issue, none has got a reply from Anet…
I’ve been playing a warr as main since launch, and got a special taste for Hammer. Looks cool, and I just love the CC. I’ve been running this build quite a while. It’s sort of a typical shout/hammer build focused on support, CC and condition removal spec, and has served me well in both dungeons, PvE and WvW.
But lately it has felt a bit lackluster… before, almost every thief who jumped me 1v1 made a huge mistake, because they couldn’t hurt me and I just squished them with immobilize, stuns and interrupts. I was on par with bunker guardians in zerg survivability, could stand against 3-5 people (even though I couldn’t dps them all down, obviously) and so forth. In dungeons I would always be the one getting people up when they were downed, just sitting there healing while the mobs/boss mauled at me, using my shouts if I needed a small heal.
Dungeons are still somewhat as they were, people seem to appreciate my support (yes, everyone doesn’t start to yell at you just because “zerker build is the only viable build”), but in WvW… where I could before roam without worry of anything, I’m now just a punching bag waiting to be hauled in by a perma-blind/stealth thief. I feel… weak nowadays.
And yes, I realize there are threads about thieves in WvW, but this will not be another one. Instead of complaining and saying that thieves should be nerfed or blablabla, I ask of you: what do I do now? I still haven’t invested in full ascended, even have some yellow rings, but I have to take a decision: continue with my build and “max it out”, or respec totally?
Thanks in advance.
