Im sure its not your intention but this thread is kinda racist tbh. How would it look if i made one titled ‘post your white (caucasian) only charecters’.

there’s no caucasian race in the game; there can be tyrian race if you wish.
and the thread is about sentiment to old continents from the better game.

Pugs don’t understand why they do sth, they watch a video and smash buttons. That’s why I don’t play with pugs.

Can’t relly review this before xpac launches don’t you think?

Play ranger, learn its weak points, problem solved.

Clearly, the ranger has an overpowered ability. I don’t have to use tricks to win if I play my character well. It truly is just that one ability. I’m good at dodging. Sometimes i kill opponents without getting hit. I dodge the most powerful attacks with relative ease because I know the animations well and my PC gets decent enough fps to give me time to see the attack coming and relative low ping to have quick reaction times, but even if i shadow step behind I still get shot. They are so silly, they don’t even switch to their greatswords in melee range. The greatsword has some sick bursts but I’m fine with that. I do blind on stealth so i manage to avoid the attacks as well until the ranger goes in cooldown. Rapid fire is instant and dodging once plus blind gives you no good. Not to mention that there are choke points for rangers where they can hardly be bothered unless i cross half the map to get there. By that time they would’ve wiped my team. You can’t shadow step to them, the game doesn’t allow it.

And don’t tell me its a l2p issue or kitten like that. Having to LOS the enemy every 8 seconds is kittening ridiculous. And I highly doubt that’s how the game is meant to be played.

A proper reflect can kill bad ranger. Your argument is like saying “conditions are op because I don’t have condi cleanse on my bar”

Star is character bound and it’s cool. It’s for recognition of your effort put to complete the world on certain character.

As said above if you want to show the world you explored whole tyria use title if using other char.

Play ranger, learn its weak points, problem solved.

Is it ranger daily today? Because I haven’t login yet and i’m curious why this post exists.

If I had to earn masteries to each of my 17 characters I’d just don’t buy HoT and probably stop playing. Account bound progression is better because I don’t have to sacrifice anything if I choose to play another character.

During tequatl revamp we were promised to have both shatt and jormy revamped. Well… they put crystal wider, didn’t they?

Stop touching old content, give us something new. And by content I mean content, not festival. Or outfits.

Old leveling
Old trait system

If you’re a dungeoneer and left because of lack of challenges and boring loot, well the game is the same it was when you left. There was new living story season but nothing close to being worth of 200 gems per episode. There’s an expansion coming but since they’re avoiding using word dungeon every time they’re ask about it the case is lost.

Before demanding a revamp for crafting plz consider that any revamp from anet can be done one way – from bad to worse. Look at traits. Or leveling. Plz don’t “fix” another part of the game.

Engi can be very versatile. Piano skills are quite useful with it.

Actually a surrender button would be better. For unranked and hotjoin at least. And only if whole party agrees to surrender. Every other way of rage quit should be punished to the ground.

Bad news for you

1. Don’t listen to this guy.
2. Listen and put /sarcasm after the post.
3. Listen and don’t join my groups.

I don’t play with pugs, I have my selfrespect at pretty high lvl.

I am just going to say this: This fascination for Cantha is inching closer towards schizophrenia.

There is nothing presented within the last 2-3 months that so much as hints towards Cantha coming out anytime soon. And ill explain…

When Rytlock opened those doors, all I heard was air and creaks. Not even a syllable of the word “Cantha” was uttered. Its like staring at a Rorschach except with sound and hearing. You can imagine what the ink stain is all you like but the reality is it is an inkstain.

This Celebration of the Ram is an official celebration. It is currently the year of the Ram meaning that celebrating it is a legitimate medium to create events within the game. But just because its all “asiany”, it is in no way hinting towards a release of Cantha at any point within the next year at minimum. HoT is about Mordremoth and Maguuma, not Cantha. And expect a LS that ends with the defeat of Mordremoth since it will most likely keep us occupied until the next expansion. Speculation can run wild at that point.

But kitten , use a little common sense instead of screaming “CANTHA?!” at the slightest and most indirect hint of Asian culture.

What about the serpent encased in Jade in the Durman Priory archive?

Omg an artefact from cantha? Think about whole jade maw fractal, this is literally Cantha!!!!!!!!1111oneoneone

What about all references to Elona? Or even Elona district in DR? OMG WE’RE GOING TO ELONA

Seriously, the self-hype you’re creating here is going only one way – Stairway to Disappointment.

Staff guardian is great range profession. You know, gandalf style. And ppl will love you because there’s no way to success without good support and healer on your back.

The new weapon skins and costume hints at cantha.

No. This is china service only.

Those are not hints of cantha.
This is for chinese client which our clients were merged with so when china gets an event we get it too.

Some are and some aren’t. There are definately parts of cantha in this game, especially references to jade, and names of many of the ascended trinkets are references to parts of cantha. I also believe that the zepherites, although they had members from all over the guild wars world, originated in cantha, hence the junk boat sails and paper lanterns. I’d also like to point out the artifacts in the priory library from cantha, like the wurm encased in jade

You can say exactly the same about teasing Elona. Don’t hype yourself, you’ll be disappointed and nothing else.

There was a boss in gw1 referencing to Zinedine Zidane. Does it mean we can play football? No.

These are ppl because of whom we don’t get armor skins anymore.
I am not impressed.

You just got carapace/luminescent, in game. They are coming out with the Rytlock armor with the expansion and there is another set for all 3 armor weights being worked on (as shown by That Shaman’s data searching). Allow the people who like outfits to enjoy them without being the proverbial wet blanket.

Just because some guy datamined sth doesn’t mean we’re getting it. Still waiting for this polearm datamined 2 years ago

He’s been updating the new armor sets, and recently too. The last update, medium armor modeled on Asura and Charr, was 9 days ago.

And it’s still no reason to be a wet blanket when someone is posting something they like. Try holding back your own disappointments and try being happy for them maybe,

I want my hate for outfits to be heard. I want to buy some real armor skins with mixing value. This is fun for me. Wearing bag-shaped texture on my back without any way of personalizing it is not fun for me. So, because they created outfits because of some loud ppl I don’t even know, I want them to create armors based on similar symptoms.

If arena is going to introduced new armors, that’s cool. But I can’t be excited before they annouce it. You know, polearm… two years ago.

And stop patronizing me.

Toodles.

Yes I can see – it’s naive, wishful thinking. I don’t know how long you’re playing this game but when it comes to arenanet give up all hope. You will be less disappointed.

I’m not attacking you, just warning you so you won’t hype yourself too much.

I don’t think we’ll see cantha or elona as a continent, maybe one or two instances.
I dare to say we won’t see even more than 3 elder dragons. The plot is already twisted to the point we can’t kill them because it destroys balance blah blah blah, you know, so they can have an excuse not to create more elders to confront

Those are not hints of cantha.

cant see the rest

I bet they are saving them for the expansion.

No they are not, at the expansion: We will get tribal armor, remember…

Someone datamined several new armor sets over the last months already. I am sure there will be new ones.

Someone datamined a polearm two years ago and nothing happened.
The more info is released about HoT the less impressive it looks.

I think that meta argument was about other argument about useless traits.

You know – today X is useless, tomorrow it’s the king of traits.

One outfit that fits all of your characters is a lot more convenient than weight-class restricted armor skins.

Opinion.

And besides, if they released new armor skins, people would complain about “urgh trenchcoats” and “urgh skirts” instead. Some people are just never happy.

nothing stops them from releasing a good skin, that’s not a skirt or trenchcoat we’re flooded since GW2 day 1. Good skin – more money for them.

Don’t like it? Don’t buy it.

That’s exactly what I’m doing. however it’s almost insane of them not to get the money I want to give them. But only for good stuff, not lazy designing.

Detha bugged for me 2 days ago. Don’t bother with reporting any dungeon related bugs. Those aren’t going to be fixed. If you don’t play open world, you’re not a target for them.

I find outfits redundant from my point of view. I got some and used them maybe twice.
I hate them because I know it’s what we get instead of new full armor sets which could be mix’n’matched. Saving charges? C’mon the game is raining with those so an outfit maybe tempting for new players but are TERRIBLE for me as a veteran.

Alse, they’re extremely ugly. I think I like the noble and executioner only. The rest is from meh to ugly.

RIP Cantha

Hi,

I’m writing in the name of my friend. He’s account was suspended (not banned) and he has no information about the reason. The ticket was submitted but he got no answer. He can’t login to the game or forums.

Please review the ticket 1226834.

You’re so very mistaken.

I’m not your tutor so I have no obligation to teach you how to do the research.

Proof for your opening post pls.

“It was a wardrobe that was introduced and made them to simplify transmutation system for new concept” And why was this change made? Possibly because the previous system wasn’t as efficient as making sales? So that means their intent was to make more money.

No. Go, do some research.

Still no proof from you.

Toodles.

I have yet to see your proof about making a profit from changing current system to yours.

Why gem store was changed? And was it? It was a wardrobe that was introduced and made them to simplify transmutation system for new concept. Why was it made? I am not your tutor. Go and do some research about wardrobe and why was it introduced.

Toodles.

You make a statement that making skins usable without charges can make anet a profit. The burden of proof is on you. Until you can prove us your idea works we have to do absolutely nothing with your proofless statement.

anet is a corporation, they have instruments to scout the market and check their best solutions. I am almost sure they’ve explored your point of view long before creating the wardrobe or releasing GW2.

So…

You buy the skin, you apply the skin to your armor – end of transaction.
This is how this system works, you can accept it or leave the game.
There’s NOTHING in ToS giving you any entitlement on cosmetics.
It is ONLY your CHOICE to use/buy them.

Toodles.

Its clear you didnt read my argument or TOS either. You have no rights in ToS. In ANY GAME. Your account is the SOLE IP of Anet currently. They can ban you at any time for an reason and not tell you why.
Will they? Hopefully not, but they have every power to do so. You are guarded by NOTHING.
Also…. 2 pages of “you can use xmog stones” isn’t an argument when i already countered that with the fact it’s still a gate.
You can toodles all you want. but until you bring a counter argument you have done nothing but repeat a debunked statement.

It’s obvious you’re totally spoiled with your entitlement. We can’t help you here.

Just because you can’t accept the argument it doesn’t make you right.
You THINK you countered anything here yet other posters are still proving you wrong with the same arguments I’m doing.

Vote with your wallet.

I hope this thread will be closed before it becomes more agressive.

Want to use it another time – you can do it with trans charge.

Whether you accept it or not it’s how it works. And yes, you sound very entitled. As you stated – it’s a virtual world. You don’t own anything here. Neither your account nor any skin in gem store even if you buy it.

I can also speak up about it. Just because that’s the way it is, doesn’t mean its ok, or the best way.

You’re right, we don’t own anything here. So what if anet just banned your account for no reason. Would you complain? Yeah, you’d try to get your account back. You would feel entitled to your account right? I mean if not, say it right now, because then you’re just talking our your behind. You downloaded the game(which is what you paid for) but the account is sole property of anet, just like every other game as stated in the TOS. But would that make it right? No.

Make a counter argument, not a blanket statement.

You already have 2 pages of arguments, you just don’t want to agree with them. It’s your choice. And you’re becoming very hostile with your posts and I’m going to report last two of them.

So about taking over my account or anything – I am guarded by ToS so until I do sth against it I feel pretty sure my account is safe.

However – do you see anywhere in ToS your right to use anything from gem store without limitations?

I’m going to repeat this every time because you’re ignoring those arguments:
You buy the skin, you apply the skin to your armor – end of transaction.
This is how this system works, you can accept it or leave the game.
There’s NOTHING in ToS giving you any entitlement on cosmetics.

Wrong analogy.

You have two dolls. You buy a dress for one doll and want the second doll to have the same dress. You need to buy the same dress again.

When you buy a car and want to change it’s colour you need to pay for respray.

GW2 system works better because it stores your historically gathered skins in the wardrobe and allows you to use a skin again with transmutation charge. So it is even better because you don’t need second skin, you only need to photocopy it for your second doll.

Sorry but it’s your logic that makes your sense. What I can see is you feeling entitled but as I can see in this thread a majority doesn’t agree with you.

When you buy a skin you can use it first time for free on a desired item.
Every next use costs you a charge.

I don’t why it should be different because these are different services.

And you can use this skin first time without any charges. If you want to use it more than once – this is when you can use those charges which is much better option than buying new skin again only, isn’kitten

I could understand your argument if the grind was indeed connected to the power level of your gear. However we’re talking about cosmetics. So it is only your choice to aim for cosmetics. Whether it comes from achievements or cash shop it’ll always be some kind of grind.

Now you have a choice:
more time grind – less or no cash spend for a skin
less or no grind – more cash spend for a skin

Looks fair to me. It is only up to you if you go for cosmetics and how are you going to pay for them – with your time/gold or with your cash. You don’t need those skins, you want them. When I want something, I go to work, I get paid and I buy what I want.

I know you have good intentions OP but unfortunately nothing is going to change.
All of us have to live with it. Enjoy the game before they’ll destroy it in the name of being special snowflake so at least for some time you’ll get fun worth your money.

I agree with you.
I bought the new account during the promotion and I took the opportunity to review the NPE from fresh point of view. The fact that some map indicators are hidden forced me (even though I am a veteran) to do a lot of unnecessary backtracking to PoIs or Vistas I forgot about. If I was a little annoyed I can imagine a frustration from new players and this is only because of map. The whole “tutorial” popups gated behind leveling is awful idea. The whole tutorial should take place in starting instance for every race. It could have been done so much better.

But because anet already put their funds on NPE and I don’t feel like they’re going to change it, I don’t bother writing anything more constructive. And trust me, I have some ideas how to improve npe and tutorials so they’re not so annoying and can surve they purpose.

But there’s no point. If devs want feedback from players – come and ask for them. If you want us to write hundreds and hundreds of posts with feedback, make an effort to convince me and others disappointed with your attitude to give the feedback.

@OP: as I said, I perfectly understand and agree with you, but unfortunately I don’t believe anything changes.

I find the GW2 gem store to be extremely fair in comparison to other in-game shops.

First of all, armor skins. You claim that you have to pay for using the skin you bought. This is false statement because the first time you can use it for free because you get the skin physicaly into your inventory. If you want to use it more than once – use charges. Imagine when you would need to buy it again if you wanted to use the skin on another armor.

Now about the charges. They’re extremely easy to get but because you’re new to the game you don’t know every way to get shinies without swinging your credic card yet. Don’t worry, you’ll get it as I did it. I remember the time when having 100g was impossible for me and now I have 17 character slots, all bought with gold to gem conversion.

You say you want to use cosmetics for leveling. This is why they created outfits and I admit they are very good solution for leveling characters.

I hope you will be patient and give yourself some time to learn the game and ways to earn both gold and cosmetics you want.

P.S. All I said above is of course a matter of perspective. That’s my opinion and you don’t need to agree with me.

gear =/= build

learn to play

Gear is an integral part of a build : One does not simply run a frostbow staff build with a cleric armour.

Next time try to be more constructive with your posts.

Are you my dad? Because you act like that and it feels awkward.

A gear CAN BE integral part of the build. For meta pve builds some of them can work with soldiers or knight eq but your traits and skills still be the same.

And about being constructive – this is yet another bash the zerker thread with 0 understanding of the game from the op, contributing nothing to the “problem” which it isn’t and explaining ppl why they’re wrong with their brilliant trinity ideas.

The discussion about meta and trinity has been discussed long after this horse died. The problem is the encounters not builds or gear. You can already see new challenges coming to the game with condition vulnerable husks for example so looks like anet understands where the problem is.

And again… the game is over 2 years old, the content has been played so many times it can’t be challenging anymore at current state. I am sure after expansion releases you’ll see a bagillion of threads about nerfing encounters, events or other activities and after a month and more ppl will learn and go through the new content like they do now with old stuff.
