Option to leave headwear on in cutscenes.

vonBoomslang.8296

Just what the title says. Please give us the ability to select whether our headgear should be always off, on outside of cutscenes, or (and this is the new part) on at all times. Some of us don’t like removing face-concealing hoods or facepaint, after all.

Also, drop-down menus with radio buttons are so in this season!

Change the 25 bleed stack limit

I’d rather just have the lowest-damage bleed “rupture” and deal half of its total damage instantly when a new one is added on top.

Is it really needed the "once every 24h limit" for moving between servers?

Yes, it really is needed, for both WvW exploits and server load.

I second all of the OP’s suggestions.

The only one I’d really add is:

“Unlocked Hall of Monuments equipment automatically added to PvP locker”

oh and “Improvements to slot skill window. You can now right click any utility slot to bring the window up, and drag and drop skills to equip them.”

And “Health displays will now turn partially pink to show incoming damage from Bleed, Poison and Burning”

Arranging bags in that order solves that problem, but it causes the problem that i have to dig through three or more bags’ worth of junk to get to the bag with the stuff I want.

Thus, not an option.

In-game marriage ? is it possible ?

There is no reason whatsoever to provide support for marriage between characters.

If you want it, RP it out.

Fill Invisible Bags/Lockboxes last

vonBoomslang.8296

We know the tech exists to direct specific loot to specific bags – if your Craftsman’s bags have room, crafting loot goes there, until they’re full and it ends up in your starter backpack or whichever next one has free room.

Unfortunately, this also means any Invisible Bags and Lockboxes you might have.

Thus my suggestion: When loot is, er, looted, it only ever goes into your Invisible Bags/Lockboxes is there is no other room anywhere else in your bags.

Allow us to keep old item "skin" after transmute plz!

Transmuting isn’t for “trying out” the new skin. It’s for when you are entirely certain that you want the old look on the new gear (or the new look on the old gear, I suppose).

If you want to try it on, put the other piece on for a bit.

Swap Harpoon Gun and Spear names.

in Suggestions

Posted by: vonBoomslang.8296

vonBoomslang.8296

Long story short, I was hoping it’d be done in Beta, I’m still holding out hope.

What I’d like is a simple change of names, so these weapon categories become Harpoon and Speargun. Just that, no changes to the actual weapons (those already often are like that).

Why? Two reasons. The first is that Spear doesn’t shout “aquatic weapon” to me, while Harpoon does. The other is that this would allow the creation of a Spear weapon category for terrestial use at a later date. C’mon, we want our one handed melee/ranged weapon for warriors and rangers!

That’s why he’s suggesting that it be changed to X total kills of invaders or Champions, so you could (slowly) work at it in PvE too.

I can’t see anything wrong with it.

Anyone know what armor that is? That looks decent. I would personally add more blue-spirit flames though.

Bleed stacks cap solution for big events and more

in Suggestions

Posted by: vonBoomslang.8296

vonBoomslang.8296

Hmm. Would have to see it in action, but it’d be nice to have. My bleeding warrior has a hard time doing demolition, that I know.

Another, though more involved solution, would be to allow the “rupturing” of bleeds and the intensity stacking of burn/poison – the latter would, say, if you hit more than Xs of burn/poison on a target, it starts dealing more damage (not double, but more) but its duration is cut in half.

As for the ruptures, I mean something that makes some attacks cause some/all bleed stacks on the target to end immediately, dealing their remaining damage in one lump sum. But that’s another nightmare to balance.

Condition Damage displayed on health bar.

Before I type anything, let me pad this post’s word count by a thousand with the following:

[Link]

In the edited screenshot above, two things should become quickly apparent – the pink sections of the health bars on display. You’ll notice that both myself and the poor kitten have stacks of Bleeding on them, and that’s what this suggestion is about.

What does the pink represent? It’s the total damage that the stacks of Bleeding, Burning and Poison currently on the target will cause, if allowed to run their full duration. Of course, it’s an entirely simplistic display, completely disregarding heals, regeneration, but it still offers quite some useful information at a glance – for example, I know that one more strike should bring the mob’s HP to a level where the bleed will take them down, so I can move to other targets. For another, if my health bulb is completely pink, I know I won’t survive unless I heal, cleanse, or both.

Now, I’m not saying this is a simple change (I’d estimate it as low to medium difficulty, but not trivial), but it’s something I’d like to see.

Oh, why pink? GW1 turned bleeding characters’ health bars pink. That’s what gave me the idea.

See the guy on the left? If you want what he’s wearing make your way to Kessex Hills, the “kilt” is sold by Sergeant Rena if I remember right.

That’s the Pit Fighter set, it’s also sold by Heart vendors in Fields Of Ruin, the 30-40 zone most easily accessed by taking the Ebonhawke gate out of Divinity’s Reach.

I don’t mind it. We look way goofier when we’re stuck in combat and have our weapons sheathed, making us run on two legs.

Shrapnel Mine

It’s seriously underappreciated. The explosion is considerably larger than it seems (the targeting circle seems to be the “detonation” range rather than that of the actual explosion), it deals damage despite not saying it does, a long bleed, and a considerable area cripple on a swift cooldown. Brilliant for kiting, as well as throwing under your feet while running away.

MH Dagger Suggestions

vonBoomslang.8296

Combining the life drain and the immob would make the power far too strong I think. A better solution would be to, say, make every tick cripple for 1s. Still useful for kiting, but not as powerful.

As for what ability would fit the dagger? Either some AoE, but mostly what I’d want is a leap/gap closer of some sort.
