why is this being done is the 1st question, the current system isn’t broken to any great extent…
getting rid of skill points, fine, but id better not end up with any “odd” points left over, like I did with the transformation points fiasco, ive still got a couple in my bank I cant do anything with.
and any loss of build choice is bad, making it “easier to build” isn’kittens taking out choice, as others have said above, I build my build, for me, for what I want, it may not be " the OMG elite super cookie cutter build" that’s on all the websites, as If wanted to do that kind of thing id play a game with real exploitable stuff ( why Hello there D&D 3rd ed with all the other producers feats and prestige classes) and really make a total OTT nasty.
As has been said in other conversations “12 is the minimum age to play the game, not the target age”Under the current system, there are fewer than ten core builds per profession that actually work. And by work, I mean taking anything else is a significant reduction in viability, not just a minor one.
Under the new system there are 27 trait combinations per line times 6 lines arranged in sets of 3. That’s more than enough to give us at least as many viable build choices as we have now. The things that are going away in terms of choice are bad options. Letting you be a special snowflake that dies 5x more often or takes 3x longer to kill something is not a healthy trade off for the game to be making.
Except the problem of some of those choices will soon be labelled “sub optimum” and will be written off, and how is “my choice” bad, it may take me longer to do stuff, but if im soloing so what, perhaps ive done this build just to try a “hard” build, and see how far I can get with a setup that every one else has failed with.. The central point is that its my choice, its not like ive taken multi blade penknife and bassoon!! I find my char builds fun, if im not having fun, im playing the game wrong, after all that’s why were playing isn’kitten to have fun……

I play a couple of hours most evenings, for fun, and a little profit, I tend to get the odd shiney from the gem store by saving up odd amounts of gold, and purchasing gems in bits and spits, so now ive got 7 gems left, after chucking some cash at a magic carpet, in the same way that I have an odd number of transmogs left when they were changed. How exactly is this good?
odd values that I cant redeem, left around make me less likely to get anything, as I expect any I have left will become unusable after a further revision in the future…
I know I cant get 40 gems per gold any more ( yes I can remember that exchange rate) I liked being able to see what I was going to get at varying degrees of clarity.
Please go back to the old version, the new one is not really easier to use, as it gives no real flexibility, something that GW has always had, and doesn’t treat us like thinking adults, which is one of the things that GW had that made it appealing.
and yes, I have made my first post on this, nothing in the past has been bad enough for me to want to pipe up. When things are good, I tell my friends, when there poor or bad I tell the people im paying that I don’t like them.
