Guild Wars 2

From the BETA, I really enjoyed using Shiro’s trait line. LOVED using the Jade Winds elite vs. those stonehead dinosaurs when they were about to charge me.

I also really liked hunting down the mastery points. I felt a sense of accomplishment when I finally got them. There was one in particular I kept failing twice or even three times, it was the south east one in Verdant Brink that was really high up. I eventually got it though. Just required the right positioning when gliding.

Lies, lies and lies.
“Lets say a pile of bs just to hype WvW players and make them pre-order” – someone at Anet.
Nah, no fixes for WvW, too busy with HoT, although got plenty of time to make sPvP leagues and rankings. Something GvG guilds asked for ages.

Completely agree. I’ll believe it not when I see it, but when it’s actually IN the game. Talk is cheap. PvP gets all the love >_<

Oh look, yet another PvP update.

Uuuurgh. I’m so sick and tired of seeing all these PvP updates (http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/3g8sd4/new_pvp_content_pvp_leagues/) while WvW is ignored yet again.

I know you guys are working on it after HoT, but it would be nice if once in a blue moon we actually got some sort of update as to what’s going to be updated WvW-wise. Whether there are any new rewards (there should be since the last skins we got were the temporary mist ones from the tournaments that come once a year if we’re lucky), or a permanent reward track etc.

All I seem to see these days update-wise is PvP. PvP gets all the frikkin love. Do you guys not like WvW or something? I’m starting to actually get seriously p’ed off with all the focus on PvP while WvW has so many bugs/hackers/no new rewards. The list goes on.

I’m going to use the Juggernaut hammer for my future Rev. Still undecided on his sword/sword skins.

Tormented sword and shield for my future Chronomancer (which will ultimately also go with her chronomancer shoulder skin)

Maybe Super Long Bow for my future Dragonhunter. I already have the skin unlocked and it looks nice so…

Dreamthistle Greatsword for my future Reaper, being as my necro already has a dreamthistle theme going, and he already has the greatsword and staff skins unlocked. He’ll look awesome

Probably Ceremonial staff for my future Druid – being as my ranger is called Shing Jea Marksman, and his outfit has a particular colour theme and specific weapons he uses to accomplish that look.

I would like to know more about this auto-loot mastery, specifically.

Does auto-loot mastery mean you no longer have to ‘interact’ with any loot on the ground – it just automatically goes directly into your inventory if there’s room? because THAT would be awesome if so. No one likes to constantly interact with the ‘AOE Loot’ button while trying to focus on killing your enemies!

Also, with this auto-loot mastery feature, will this mean that you no longer have to worry about not being able to collect loot that is surrounding your dead (and downed) characters? I’ve missed out on so much loot simply because I died and there was no way to get back in time to collect said loot (see picture attached).

By auto-loot, do they mean a feature where you no longer have to ‘AOE Loot’? Because right now, despite having my auto-loot feature in the options ticked, you still have to interact where said loot is, to pick it up (which, to me, isn’t really automatically-looting).

And don’t even get me started on the inability to pick up any loot surrounding your dead characters (see pic attached).

I’m hoping this auto-loot mastery feature will mean that any loot that comes from said enemy is automatically placed in your inventory and you no longer even have to interact with an area or enemy to pick up your loot.

if we were able to do something like that it would be way down the line.

Oh yeah most definitely – a design-a-weapon contest shouldn’t even be a thought right now with the expansion in the works, as well as WvW being worked on straight after that – I thought I would just mention it and it would be something awesome to keep in mind for the distant future long after Heart of Thorn’s release – because the weapon contests were really successful and made players feel involved in the future of the game.

I guess I just have fond memories of GW1 and those contests. I still remember wielding a bone dragon staff on my necromancer thinking ‘wow, this is so awesome, someone’s idea made it into the game and I’m wielding what was once just a thought – which then made it onto paper – which then ultimately made it into Guild Wars!’. It was an amazing skin too. The contest/s would be a cool idea for future skins or even new legendaries.

Just a thought, anyway. I look forward to the POI’s and thanks so much replying!

Thanks for doing the Legendary Weapon POI in advance Rubi, I’ve been waiting for legendary talk for a while even though it’s not this week, hopefully it’s not that far away.

Speaking of weapons and the design aspect of it… any chance we’ll see the design-a-weapon contest come back sometime in the future? Maybe even a design-an-armor-set contest too? I think the community would love it.

Test Shiro’s trait line with sword/sword and sword/axe
Test Chronomancer
Test Dragonhunter
Test Reaper

Might test Tempest overload skills, but can’t see myself actually using the warhorn – despite maining ele.

I’ll always support bringing back the design a weapon contest.

Would be awesome to introduce a design an armor set too (more male skimpy armor please)

This would be a great time to bring it back either way because then we could perhaps have the opportunity to vote on one (or more?) of said designs (or anet decide?), to become new legendaries in Heart of Thorns or something.

My recently redone ranger, Shing Jea Marksman. And yes, you guessed it, his theme is a Shing Jea Marksman. I was going for a somewhat nostalgic GW1 look, that’s also been modernised to suit GW2. And I wanted an archer/assassin look, and ultimately came up with this.

I plan on getting the enamelled crimson dye for him eventually (because it makes him look more detailed and perfect), but right now at 300g, I’m going to wait for it to come back to the gemstore at a much lower price. I’m not going to let price manipulators and hoarders get my hard earned money.

Edit: Added a 3rd picture (4 months later) which is now his full and final look. I think he looks very Shing Jea’ish now.

I attempted to go for thirst slayer achievement the other day. I had all the karma for it, but I had to stop at 25,000 drink points. My fingers started getting twitches and knew it wasn’t good for me to continue.

Over 100,000 continuous mind-numbing clicks simply can’t be good for your hand. During all those clicks before I stopped, I was thinking to myself ‘why can’t there be a buy-X option’, along with ‘I can see why players resort to changing the way mouse clicks work in order to save their hands’.

I can see why players have to resort to other means, but they shouldn’t have to. Also, who’s to say their account isn’t flagged for suspicious activity (by this I mean that mouse click thing) simply because they don’t want to get RSI? I for one don’t want to risk being falsely flagged for something that would save my hand, so I’ve never done it (and never will, because it’s an advantage over other players that Anet hasn’t confirmed is ok to do), but I also don’t want to get RSI, which is why I’ve simply put the ‘thirst slayer’ achievement on hold until something IS done about it. Because it’s unnecessary for all those clicks, it really is. And there is no glory in the ‘this player destroyed their hand for this title’ achievement. Devotion to getting achievement by destroying their hand perhaps, but certainly no glory. Definitely needs changing.

• Rainbow Phoenix Mail Carrier and Mini
• New staff skin animated by lightning along its length and falling red rose petals
• Mordrem Vinewrath Back Item (it can be more like Sclerite Karka Shell Back Item, but with Thorns. The flower is at center.)
• Unicorn Mail Carrier and Mini
• Yellow and Mint Color for Hairstyle
• Bring exclusive colors to full body and glowing of Sylvari. They are plants and their body can even be red or green, unlike people skin.
• Polymock Arenas
• New Animated Background for the Character Select Screen (Heart of Thorns Style)
• Divine Aura http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Divine_Aura
• /dancenew visual effects from GW1, especially ritualist collector dance http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ggmPaSdQdXE
• Final fight with the Undead Lich, Shiro Tagachi, Abaddon, Great Destroyer itself – as a Memorable Mission Pack.

I played GW1 and didn’t even realise there was something called a Divine Aura! I remember seeing assassin’s with it, but never knew how they got it or what it was called. I must say it looks quite nice!

I’d love to see more GW1 things in game tbh. Be it emotes, visual effects, weapons, or armor. I personally would love to see paragon armor in GW2. I just thought the attention to detail was amazing, and I liked the sleek, almost marble-like shine on the higher end paragon armors. They had defined abs on the armor for the males in particular, which I found nice. I don’t think we get much skimpy and unique male armor in GW2, that’s probably why I miss a lot of GW1 armors so much.

Would love to see some GW1 weapon and armor skin packs!

Edit: Along with a black dyed version of the Voltaic Spear, that pulsates like the GW1 version. I know we have Al’ir’aska in GW2, but it’s just not the same. You can’t dye it, and it doesn’t have the ‘electric current’ sort of visual effect that the GW1 version had.

I decided to completely change my ranger. I changed his colour scheme, name and general theme of my look.

I went with a Shing Jea archer/assassin look:

Mini Zhaitan would be awesome. I’d also like to see a mini Shatterer dragon & that cloud thing from Super Adventure Box that leaves behind a rainbow trail. They would be epic minis.

Another mini I’d like to see is a ‘Mini Me’. A mini identical version of your character – even what they wear and wield. I think it would be a great addition because it would sell like hotcakes. I mean, who wouldn’t want a mini version of their character?

Mo Mo.1947:

There is a new WvW Map that replaces the current borderlands maps. That’s HUGE change. Also they mentioned the current borderlands maps will come back with some changes. Meaning there will be at least two types of borderlands that could rotate weekly or seasonally or something. That’s a huge change!

WvW is an end in and of itself. You don’t need much change to completely revitalize it because it’s not about the map, it’s about the players on the map. Changing maps just keeps the ideas fresh so people don’t fall into a trench of meta stagnation.

Changing up the map is a HUGE change that can revitalize the entire game, not to mention how much specializations themself will alter the state of play in WvW.

Map changes are always welcome, and that in itself is a huge update, but I’ve still yet to see Anet give WvW/EOTM any new permanent item or skin rewards – and it will be nice to be in different soundings, but if there’s no new rewards that come with it, it will be a big let down for me personally, I don’t know about anyone else.

If I had the option of a graphical rework of an entire WvW map, or a range of amazing new skins and item rewards, I’d much rather choose the item rewards over some graphical changes – just saying.

I look forward to playing Revenant with the addition of weapon swap and Shiro. Also looking forward to playing Chronomancer, and perhaps a bit of Dragonhunter’s longbow skills. Probably won’t bother with Tempest and Reaper.

Lonewolf Kai.3682:

I think we’re going to see a whole truck load and a half full of info at GamesCom, including a projected release date.

EDITED: Thx Donari.
/em SheepishGrin.

I wouldn’t say a whole truckload of information. Maybe 2 (or even all 5) of the specialisation reveals (that way they can get to works on allowing us to play them in the betas, then have time to tweak them, in prep for the release). Including the engi spec, forge, and warrior spec, berserk/er that we know of from the datamined stuff.

I doubt we’ll see any of the new legendaries :-( I think if they have time they might reveal the ‘challenging group content’. But only time will tell.

October/November/December is looking even more promising at this rate (wouldn’t be surprised if it ended up being early January/mid February of next year). I wouldn’t even think of HoT coming out in August/September, considering how much they still have to reveal and tweak.

When there is no living story etc. to do, I’m either in WvW/EOTM or doing map completion. I don’t really like doing map completion but I’ve been so bored lately, especially since there’s been no real update to WvW/EOTM for ages in terms of new armor and weapon skins – because the last ones we got were from tournaments that we get maybe once a year if we’re lucky, and that’s only temporary content, so it doesn’t really count.

If there’s no living story available to play, I’d say my play time is 95-98% WvW/EOTM. With the exception lately of doing map completion on my characters in preparation for HoT, and also getting hero points for their specialisation traits and skills.

If there is a living story, I’d say my play time is 50% living story, 50% WvW/EOTM. But once that’s done, it’s straight back to WvW and EOTM. I only really do the PvE content for achievement points/better armor and weapons for my characters/for the skins.

So technically I’m not 100% just WvW/EOTM, but for the majority of my play time, that’s all I do really, with the odd bit of PvE living story/achievement stuff/map completion.

CandyHearts.6025:

Would you buy more skins via gemstore for your character/s if there was no armor weight restriction?

I’m just curious how other people feel on this. Could be an old subject but…. it’s new to me!

I dream of my Guard wearing the light armor phoenix skins sometimes. Siiighhh. xD

I probably would. Being as outfits can already hide what type of weight armor class you are, it would make sense to just allow any class to wear any skin.

Logged on just to reply to this thread :-P

Yeah the recent blog about the legendary backpack and fractals rewards and all that sounded amazing… if you’re into fractals.

I’m worried Anet doesn’t like WvW/EOTM as much as fractals or PvP.

I like that we’re getting a new map, but what we know currently is that is all we’re getting :-/

For a long time now, many of us WvW’ers have suggested some sort of reward track – similar to PvP, but obviously with WvW rewards (like badges of honor, wxp consumables, new weapon and armor skins etc.)

I’m hoping the case is that Anet just hasn’t had the time to talk about new rewards for WvW/EOTM. But I must say I’m slightly worried that all we’re getting is a new map with a few new features (charr cars etc.)

Sounds great if you’re into fractals. If you’re like me though and don’t like FOTM, it’s tough luck. I wish Anet would give alternative methods to all these kind of things, so we truly get to ‘play how we want’. Sure, make it harder if said rewards are gained via alternative methods, and keep it a lot easier if you did fractals itself, but at least give us the dang option.

If all this is fractals exclusive, I’m just gonna go ahead and not bother with any of it.

I think the backpiece looks alright. It’s just a shame nothing would match it (apart from maybe the ‘coldsnap’ scepter), and the fact it’s tied to fractals. I doubt there’ll be alternative methods to all this new stuff, so I won’t even be giving any of this legendary backpack stuff a thought. Gl to those who do fractals though. Sounds like you’re getting a whole lot of new stuff.

Just wish Anet would put more thought into WvW and EOTM rewards… XD

This all sounds amazing and all… if you’re into fractals.

What if you aren’t into fractals though – like me and many others? I doubt they’ve included alternative methods to obtain all these great sounding things (which would be another slap in the face to the ’play-how-you-want motto from day 1 of GW2).

I’m seriously hoping there will be rewards like this, for WvW and EOTM. Or at least a reward track or SOMETHING rather than just a new WvW borderland map with no new rewards.

I wish I could be really excited about the news today, but it all sounds very fractals-exclusive, and I just don’t like fractals. I hope there are alternative methods to obtain these legendary backpacks and all the other things, but I doubt there will be. So unless there’s confirmation on alternative methods to get all this stuff, it’s just another thing that won’t be obtainable for those of us who don’t like fractals, and we won’t truly get to ‘play how we want’.

I’m actually getting really annoyed and disappointed lately with the the lack of updates and information. Every week I think ‘maybe we’ll get a new set of black lion weapon skins to alleviate the information drought’.

I wake up, go to my computer, go onto GW2, and what do I see?

A summary of POI’s I’ve already watched days earlier (deja vu from a week or two ago, might I add). I mean, really? A summary? That’s hardly content if you ask me…

An article telling us all that, basically, you still have a puddle’s chance of getting into the next WvW Borderlands Test, (but we’ll probably give special treatment and priority to popular video streamers and some huge WvW guilds, and the rest of you get to miss out on the next WvW Borderlands Test). Yayyyyyyy. And here I am with over 3700 ranks who plays WvW and EOTM daily, not even getting a look see, 2nd time round. We’re not idiots. We know certain people get special treatment because they’re popular or are in big guild groups.

What about the rest of us? :-( I’m so annoyed by all of this. So much so I’m not even going to bother to watch any of the streaming. It’s just infuriating and insulting at the same time. I can understand popular video streamers getting a bit of priority for hyping it up and showing us in great detail all the juicy bits, THAT I’m fine with, but giving special treatment to specific guilds and such? Kind of unfair… (source from GW2 Reddit a while back).

And finally, another article saying our account security is going to be beefed up. Well that’s all very nice (and hardly content too, might I add), but my account is already pretty secure. I will accept the mini that comes along with it though, and it is a nice mini.

So really, after a week or two of nothing really, all we get is a mini.

Not impressed.

I think every Wednesday (Tuesdays for the majority of the rest of the world) I’m just going to have zero expectation that we’ll get anything from now on. I’m so disappointed. Call me entitled, call me whatever you like. I’m just saying it how it is, and how I feel personally. Because 6+ months of getting drip-fed information and POI ‘summaries’ just doesn’t feel like content to me. At least before we got some new black lion weapons or something from the gemstore, now even that’s clearly stopped…

Like Venti said, the hype’s been stretched far too long, and in my opinion, everyone’s barrel of hype has pretty much dried up. Some may still be licking the sides of it saying there’s still content coming out, but all I’m seeing is empty. The fact we still don’t have a release date 6 months after announcing the expansion, let alone any news on what the new legendaries are or what they look like, or the other 5 specialisations, or the challenging group content, or anything else not mentioned… I think it speaks for itself :-/

And i’ll probably receive an infraction for having an opinion that isn’t 100% positive, but I’m just so tired of not getting much from GW2 lately. No I most likely won’t quit GW2, but I can see how quite a few players have moved on to other games. I can see why.

Here’s my Charrdian. Since he’s heavy, this look would also work for a Charrior.

I use:

glowing crimson mask (gemstore)
fanatic’s mantle (starter shoulders)
nightmare court breastplate (twilight arbor chest)
primeval gauntlets (gemstore)
legion tassets (charr cultural armor)
primeval boots (gemstore)

Dyes I use are:

shadow abyss
strawberry
mischief
quickstalk (changed it to blood dye, recently)

weapons I use:

Bloody prince staff
shadow greatsword

Good luck with the look you’re going for!

I was extremely excited this morning to see dreamthistle weapons back… until I saw ‘3 tickets’. Anet lost me there.

:-( should be 1, considering how long we had to wait for them to come back, but it is what it is I guess >_<

I’d like to see a unicorn mini, or one that perhaps has a rainbow trail like the legendaries and finisher, to match.

Or even something like that cloud from the Super Adventure Box – and it could leave behind a rainbow trail when it moves

Zalladi.4652:

Boss events spawn every 15 minutes. Having text suddenly pop up every 15 minutes might become incredibly annoying. Though, you did mention the option to toggle, so that should definitely be an option if a feature like this were ever implemented.

An alternative option to something like this was an in-game boss timer, as opposed to players manually pulling up a boss timer from the internet. If a boss timer was part of the Hero Panel somewhere, then players could look over it at their leisure and still know when each world boss was due to spawn, rather than having text pop up for everyone.

An in-game boss timer interface would be awesome too. That would be really handy. Currently I’m using the world boss event timer from guildwarstemple. Though I think the world announcement chat would still be required at least in some form too (that could be toggled on/off) to let everyone know. And if people didn’t want to see the world boss event announcements, they could toggle that off, and they also wouldn’t have to open up the boss timer interface. A win-win for everyone really. Those that want to be informed, are informed, and those who don’t, aren’t!

Right now for my future Revenant, I’m thinking of Corruption, Retribution and Devastation trait lines for the damage bonuses as well as survivability. I might swap out one of the 3 trait lines though if the Rev’s spec provides better traits. Only time will tell.

I’ll probably swap out Retribution if the Rev’s spec trait line is better. There’s no way I’m swapping out Devastation. So it’s a toss up between Retribution or Corruption.

Back in Guild Wars 1 there were yellow colored messages in the chat box that couldn’t be ignored. Things like Favor of the Gods (http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Favor_of_the_Gods), and these world-wide announcements were REALLY handy in finding out what was going on around the world (or in this case/suggestion, your server) at the time.

I think this feature from GW1 should be implemented in GW2 for things like world boss events. It’s so frustrating having to wait for a hugely populated guild to come along once in a blue moon to help (and successfully) kill the great jungle wurm, for example, in the Bloodtide Coast. If EVERYONE knew that the great jungle wurm boss was approaching, then perhaps maps would get filled up more easily, and players would be able to get their achievements a lot faster.

A simple suggestion like a yellow line of text in the chat box saying something like ‘there are trembles in Bloodtide Coast. The great jungle wurm will approach in the next 5 minutes’ would do wonders. And perhaps also have nearby NPC’s say the same (or similar) thing – telling nearby players that this event is going on, or will happen in the next X minutes.

Why don’t we have this? It was SUCH an amazing and helpful feature in GW1, and I think it would be extremely helpful for things like world boss events. PLEASE Anet consider this. I think it would help so much.

Edit: One of my friends suggested this and I think it’s a great point. Have a chat channel that announces these world event/boss messages, so that players can choose to toggle them on or off, and also perhaps have the ability to toggle specific boss events on or off (for those only looking for 1 specific boss, or those looking for, say, only the fire elemental boss, the megadestroyer, and the karka queen?).

I know we have the LFG system, and it’s helpful in finding others to help, but that only reaches a certain amount of people – and that’s IF they’re looking for the same content you are. If this world announcement chat system was included, I think it could reach far more people. Also, with the LFG system, as soon as your group is filled up, your party that’s advertised there is removed. Even more reason to implement this to reach more people for things like world boss events.

Here’s another person asking for money – and I’ve seen this phrase used twice or three times now. I reported the first guy and blocked them, but they clearly keep doing it and are getting away with it, being as this is the exact same phrase said blocked person used, so I’ve given up reporting them.

But just to let others know, there’s also people going around asking for 94 silver for an exotic item. Screeny attached. So if it isn’t the guy hinting for 7g for their legendary, it’s 94s for their exotic.

For me, Chronomancer so far. Not a fan of the Reaper (not into close-ranged combat and too much emphasis on chill condition in my opinion), Dragonhunter looks cool, so that comes in as 2nd favourite spec for me so far, and Tempest I only like a few of the skills and the fire overload so not exactly my favourite there :-/

I like the Chronomancer skills, loving the shoulder skin, and they’ll be able to wield shields – so I can finally use my tormented shield on my mes I’m going for a tormented theme too with her so…

I personally think this will be the final specs:

Ranger – staff
Thief – staff
Ele – warhorn
Warrior – torch
Mesmer – shield
Revenant – shield
Engineer – hammer
Guardian – longbow
Necromancer – greatsword

Zaoda.1653:

I’d also like to see legendary dyes be introduced to crafting professions

What exactly would make a dye legendary?

Well, for example, if you wanted like a rainbow kind of dye, it could require the Gift of Colour (As 1 of the 4 components required), along with 3 other legendary components, which are obtained by gaining mass amounts of materials (like you would with a legendary weapon), and level 500 Chef.

Don’t forget the makeshift weapons. They may look plain, but we need more plain weapons that look sharp and brutal. Also all the armors that_shaman has datamined over the last few months that still haven’t been introduced. Ley line armor etc.

In a future expansion, I would love to see the Ritualist, Paragon and Dervish come back as specialisations – perhaps under different names.

I’d also like to see legendary dyes be introduced to crafting professions

Dyeable weapons (probably asking too much, but this would be huge for me)

Not really fussed on a new race, considering Anet said they don’t really bring anything new to the table (whereas new classes do), which is a good point. If I had to choose a particular new race though, I think skritt and tengu are too similar – we already have charr, which are also furry, so it would make sense to bring in something entirely new, like Kodan, Largos, or my favourite which I’d personally like to see in game, Margonites.

Underwater content revamped. New skills for underwater combat. Exotic, Ascended and Legendary stats for breathing apparatus/aquatic helms.

GW1 weapon and armor packs in the gemstore.

The option to keep (or unlock) legendary auras and effects even when said legendary is stowed. For example, the metallic effect on armor when you wield the Juggernaut. I want that even when Juggernaut is stowed.

A WvW and EOTM reward track (similar to how PvP reward tracks work). Because currently the rewards aren’t that great.

That’s all I can think of.

‘Into the chasm, ectoplasm’

Awesome tysm. I think perhaps then I should probably go for all the hero points, or at least 100 like you say. Somehow I don’t think my 55 hero points will be enough for the traits AND skills.

Edit: I’ve now got my Mesmer with 196 unspent hero points and I’m just finishing off 1 last map that has 7 hero points, then I’ll have all extra hero points so I should be set now. Thanks everyone for the advice! I think it’s worth going for all hero points, if not 90-100 to be safe.

I’m currently working on getting all the waypoints of the world unlocked on my Mesmer, but also considering getting all the hero points because I’ll need them for the Chronomancer specialisation traits and skills, but I’m not sure how many hero points I’ll need.

Was it confirmed as to how many hero points we’ll need to completely unlock the specialisation traits and skills?

Also, on my elementalist who has world completion, he has 200 or so unspent hero points. Surely the Tempest won’t require that many to unlock the specialisation – so anyone know what all these extra hero points are for? Or are the extras just pointless? I don’t want to get them all, to find out it was a waste of time!

Thanks in advance

Zalladi.4652:

I agree.

Although, I think there should be the option for both, and have 2 separate skins; one with the disk on one shoulder, and one that has both.

It is one of the reasons I am not too keen on the ascended set for medium armour, nor Kasmeer’s outfit.

That’s a good idea. I think it would be cool to have both so everyone can be happy. Perhaps have a mystic forge recipe or something for the symmetrical version? Being as it’s twice-the-shoulder/disks and we can still keep the one sided asymmetrical version.

Edit: Just did a bit of Photoshopping. I definitely prefer the symmetrical shoulders.

Or do you guys think it would be better for the Tempest Specialisation’s shoulders be on both sides of the character rather than just 1 side? I really love the skin, but having the levitating disk on one side kind of puts me off a little bit :-/

OOH OOH I HAVE ANOTHER ONE!!!!!!!!

Guess What...

They already have a karma train.

A karma train would be a fun idea. Have a transparent purple train with the word ‘karma’ on it (or the icon), trailing behind each player – like a legendary weapon effect in a way. Or every once in a while see the text ‘choo choo’ above player’s names :-P Would be hilarious in EOTM.

xarallei.4279:

I was wondering the same thing. My ele is my second most played character and I usually run with a staff (though I do have daggers, a scepter and a focus in my bags). But I’m just not sure that overload is enough to make it worth taking the tempest trait line.

I know what you mean. The damage modifiers from the other trait lines to me, seem more valuable than replacing an entire trait line just for the Overloaded attunements (since I’m not a fan of warhorn). Wish I could have overload without having to replace an entire trait line :-/ ah well.

Initially I didn’t think I’d like the warhorn, but after watching the POI? Sadly my views on the warhorn remain unchanged. I think staff will still be my preferred weapon of choice, simply because I like every single skill on it. With the warhorn, I only like a few of them (dust storm and heat sync specifically – though with pyromancer’s puissance I get might every time I cast a spell while attuned to fire anyway, so I don’t need warhorn just for the might stacks, so this only really leaves me liking the dust storm AOE blind that pulsates – which isn’t really enough for me to want to swap to warhorn over staff).

However, I LOVE the Feel the Burn shout. I think I might be using that. As well as the fire Overload. I think those two are probably my favourite things from the Tempest. I don’t really like most of the Tempest traits, but there are 1 or 2 that interest me, so I’m not sure whether it’s worth swapping out an entire trait line for Tempest, because for me, it’s either Arcane that goes (which gives me a good amount of ferocity when I use my arcane skills), or Air, which allows me to deal 20% more damage to foes below 50%, with bolt to the heart. So I don’t know. I guess I’ll see when we have access to play the Tempest spec. All I know is that I won’t be using warhorn.

Love the shouts and the overloads though. I think those were done well.

I think next time I should be snarky and say ‘only 7g away? Wow you’re so close, perhaps you should do a few dungeons or work for that last 7g, rather than hinting.’

I mean seriously, even if you WERE 7g away, you would just quietly work towards getting that 7g, then perhaps link all the items you have ready to mystic forge, to turn into said legendary, then link said legendary saying you’ve finally done it.

That person is deliberately hinting towards the masses, because just like scammers, they know that sooner or later they’ll find someone that will give them something.

Thanks for the warning. Yeah I just found that same guy the OP was talking about. Remembered this thread. Reported the guy for scamming.

I think it’ll be more like October/November/December because not all specialisations have been revealed, let alone the challenging group content, let alone the new legendaries.

Lord Faren because he seems to be the only skimpy male NPC in the game.
