My ele would wear the heck out of a kimono. Yes please.

IKR!?

I’d hate for them to sink that low, but judging by the incredible number uncultured people running around with a Japanese name above their heads, I’d agree that Anet will need to make a lot more weeb content to make quick easy money. A weeb’s shallowness is pathetic but that also means they’re far easier to rob. I’d do it if I were anet. Could even consider renaming Cantha to Japantha or something in the future.

Sounds like someone needs a hug. Why is anyone uncultured for choosing a character name? That has to be one of the most unproductive and petty remarks I’ve seen on here in a while… and that’s saying something.

My Rev works fine OP, maybe you can clarify what exactly they did to kill us?

A ranger running a pig called, “Puttindaporkinu”

Nothing grindy about the game.

To make ascended gear you need billions of resoures + 1/day crafting
To get precursor you need to kill billions of mobs and open billions of bags
To craft legendary you need to farm billions of resoures

BUT there is alternative:

You can buy mats for ascended gear from TP
You can buy precursor from TP (still needeing billions of mats)
You can buy legendary from TP

Problem is those require gold – F LOADS of gold so we are basically back at square one.

Its all about grinding either gold or mats (and no, orange gear ain’t end-game gear)

PLUS hot is one big meta event with everything locked behind timed gate so grinding that is even more grindy.

Personally i hate grind and i ain’t grinding poo – i just play from time to time – and its best way to dose the game in small porions – more fun that way.

Your info is dated, by a lot. You can do quests now for the precursors that don’t involve farming “billions” of mobs. Even Ascended gear mats are easily attained these days.

HoT is hardly grinding unless you’ve been farming it and it alone since it was released. In which case the problem is you and you should try one of the plethora of other things the game offers.

No it’s not more grinding, there is so much to do you just need to use some imagination and change things up. Get board running the story line, then go run fractals, or do some spvp/wvw which are two very different beasts in their own right. Got tired of that, do some crafting, while you are at it pick some achievements to do. If you are a returning player and haven’t played through season two, buy the pass and run through the story, it’s pretty good.

Also don’t listen to the naysayers that cry about their gold making abilities going to heck since dungeon rewards got nerfed. Just go run HoT map metas… SOOOOOO much gold! Don’t have HoT, no problem go run Silver Wastes or Dry Top.. the gold intake is still very good. Another alternative is to get on a boss timer site and run the rotation of each boss once a day. You still make a pretty coin.

The game is fun and there is plenty to do so that it doesn’t feel grindy. Grind as much as you feel is necessary to get the achievements, legendaries, titles, backpack unlocks etc. Just don’t burn yourself out as there is no reason to.

They definitely need to address the fact that the majority of their medium chest pieces are trench coats. They need to show a little more imagination for those who run rangers and thieves.

I absolutely agree they should focus on fixes and content, but in the mean while they are still going to add skins on a fairly frequent basis. I’m simply making a suggestion of what I know many people would like to see, myself included. Why should they wait for Cantha? Again they already have some Japanese themed weapons in the game, so it is not a far fetched wish for them to add more to simply round out the ability to customize your character’s appearance.

I think they could easily make some of the more aesthetically simple weapons look pretty kitten great, without being ridiculous. It’s not hard to add some particle effects as a lot of their weapons have them. Several weapons in game already have a lot of unique visuals without looking Final Fantasy lols huge. I’d love to see some more unique outfits also, samurai armor as I mentioned in my own post, maybe an ancient greek, or roman themed armor would go good too. My thing is when they add a weapon like Belinda’s great sword, or Firebringer/Honor of Humanity with their Gladius looks, but you have no armor that really completes the feel. I get this is a fantasy game and is meant to have it’s unique flavor, but GW1 went with the theme feels and allowed you to pull off looking Egyptian/Greek and still kept it’s on unique flavor.

I think a lot more weapon skins would get used if there were some better armor choices that allowed you to recreate certain themes.

We’ve had Belinda’s Greatsword in game a while now, as well as Usoku’s Needle. Would love to see a Yari/Naginata staff, a Yumi long bow, a Kanabo hammer, a Kama axe. There are several other items that could be implemented.

To go with the weapons we’ve also had the Shadow Assassin outfit but nothing else. I for one would love to see some actual Samurai themed armor, heck even a kimono/hakama outfit would be great!

Great sword looks alright, the blade is nice, but they should have made the cross guard a little larger and curved upward, the pommel should have had the balthazar hound head on it in some form, to keep with the theme.

The Hammer is alright. Nothing to go crazy over but better than the other stuff.

The shield is too small, which makes me sad, could have been better looking as a kite shield and not some little oval.

The rest of the weapons are uninspired frankly. The bows look terrible. The sword, terrible, the axe and staff, terrible.

Any chance of any new pets coming in the expansion? It’d be nice to get some fresh new choices!

Hi, here is just a screen to support my comments.

If anything you’re supporting the fact the visual effect is needed to determine whether or not you have a block.

Should Engineer backpack kits be removed because they don’t like their “hobo packs”? That thread has over 1k comments already.

The thing is you can easily see if someone has aegis up just by looking at their buffs when they are targeted, your argument is baseless. More so in WvWvW where there are too many people to even tell if you are facing off with a guardian or a warrior visually unless you look at their class symbol. I’m completely for just a toggle in settings to hide it seeing as there are a few people that actually like it…. frankly for me I’d rather not have to dye my armor to fit with this one graphic. I like using my shield, and worse if i use a focus or torch it completely hides them, which I am not cool with.

Please please please Anet, get rid of this effect. It’s not necessary and it really ruins the aesthetics of many shields. Anyone who says they need it to recognize a class in PvP, WvWvW is lying. It’s easy enough to see their class just by targeting them and looking at the class icon. If getting rid of it all together is not an option please add a timer to it to last for around five seconds and then have it go away. I hate the way it clips into my shield.

And I love how it looks because it allows me to have a focus or use a greatsword and still “have a shield”.

Sorry but your argument is a horrible one. Its not a real shield. It should be done away with because it is a distraction and the only real purpose it serves is to distinguish a Guardian from a Warrior.

So because you don’t like it it should go away, and me having an opinion is horrible… sir, please grow up.

No, it should go away because its useless garbage taking up gpu resources. I pvp 80% of the time in this game. I can tell you for a fact i never look to see if the other guy has this to tell what his class is. As pointed out by another earlier, it’s easy enough to look at the effects on their bar or hell even just there class icon when you target them. In WvWvW no one can see through the mob to tell who they are targeting 9 times out of 10.

You are right I don’t like it. I never said it should go away for that reason. I stated it was annoying as heck and clips through my character, makes the graphics of shields look horrible. I’d rather have a selector to disable it in the settings menu, or at the very least have them set it to fade after you draw weapons lets say around 5 seconds.

Perhaps you should take some of your own advice sir and grow up. The post is not about you, but about something that a great number of your fellow players don’t care for and find affects their enjoyment of the game.

Love me some aegis animation. One of the cooler looking things in game imho.

What the heck are you talking about? It’s an incredibly simplistic design that clips on most everything be that armor, shields. It’s annoying as heck, and that’s with even with graphics at max to make it as good looking as it gets.

ridiculous another hour wasted on this, things like this take the fun out of the game >.< relying on pure luck or bugged use of foods and boosters is not how this should be won. Tool tips should do what they say. Drink water says it gives back 20% health it gives 10.. Alcohol says it takes 10% it takes 20… FML

still broken, i’ve spent 4 hours on this guy, trying different techniques and he’s still creaming me. he’ll start using his special technique at 75% health and just kill me via attrition. the tool tips on the drinking are still wrong. Drinking the alcohol takes 20% health not 10%. Please fix this.

I’d love to see engineers given the option of using 1h swords/maces seeing as they can already use shields I don’t feel it would be immersion killing.
