Guild Wars 2

So a long way back ago (roughly two years or so), I rolled an engineer for a bit. LOVED it! The kits were so cool and made the profession worth playing (The rifle/pistol weapons sucked then and pretty much still do)… Needless to say, life happened and I took a little break from the game.

I came back and rolled an engineer again, and now the almost all the kit’s suck too! Mortar Kit looks awesome, but do hardly any damage to NPC’s (Hardly fitting for an elite ability). Bomb, Elixir, and Grenade kit’s are useless for anything above lvl 30… Finally, the Tool Kit is literally laughable (I seriously laughed while using it). The Flame Thrower was the only kit that has remained usable, and that’s only because I’ve geared my toon right to where it compliments my Engineer Tank build (Juggernaut).

Point being, it seems like all the kit’s have been nerfed so as to “encourage” players to rolled the scrapper elite profession (Which is enjoyable btw)… Anyways… I’m sure I speak for many people when I ask that the devs please make kit’s usable again? OR…. replace them with abilities that actually are worth something.

I mean seriously… Engineer elite abilities are pretty much horrible right now (Turret drop is OK…). Thank you

I’m glad to see that some people here understand my point. Thank you… I understand the devs are busy with other projects as well. But seriously, I don’t believe it’s as impossible as people say it is… A simple color change?

MoarChaos.8320:

If they ever make black or gold butterflies It would cool to see a Magi themed character (Magi’s a show)

I actually like this idea! It would also maintain the Mesmer integrity and chaos theory as well! I just checked for myself, their is other graphics ALREADY in game. NPC Raven Shaman, Vilnia Shadowsong (HP) has pink/purple raven affects… It’s already in game peoples… Just a thought

All the trolling aside… Would it hurt anybody if the devs made alternative spell graphics for any class? NO….. Would it hurt the lore? NO… Could it make Anet a little extra money if sold in the Gem store? YES!!!! It isn’t like their not flooding the store with new stuff every other day…

So seriously… Why all the trolling?

Kayberz.5346:

Lol more kids insecure about their sexuality/masculinity that have it programmed into their head by society that pink and/or butterflies are “feminine” and that associating yourself with either of these somehow makes you less “manly”
Classic, pretty much this exact thread pops up every few months

First off… I didn’t insult anybody with my post. Your post however was very rude and uncalled for. Secondly, this clip is for you and all of you “dandies” who talk smack because I’m not a fan of the pink butterflies…

Ok… With that much being said, I appreciate the artwork the devs have put into the game. I also appreciate the symbolism. But I personally am not a fan of pink butterflies. It’s not an issue of “identity” it’s an issue of taste. It does look girly and I don’t play girly characters. I’m sure I’m not alone on this, and there are others who play who feel likewise. It doesn’t have to be crows or bubbles, just an artistic alternative.

I believe the company can profit from the artistic alteration and offering it on the gem store… With all the time that is spent on new armors, gliders, minis, and finishers, and dance moves all sold on the gem store, is my request so unreasonable? I don’t believe so…

Hey All, I was just thinking… First class I ever rolled with was a Mesmer, I thought the whole “Illusion Magic” Concept was pretty cool. Then after playing it, I loved the abilities! But one thing kept bugging me… It’s WAY too pink! Nothing wrong with pink mind you but…. It’s pink butterflies! I realize that is cool for a lot of folks. Just not for me… So I ended my Mesmer toon shortly after starting because I can’t do pink butterflies.

Here’s the question. Could the devs figure a way in implement alternative graphics for the Mesmer so it isn’t so… pink butterflies? Make it available for purchase at the gem store? Or create a “Elite-Profession” that changes it around.

I was thinking of something like black/crimson crows, or blue bubbles… OR SOMETHING NOT PINK BUTTERFLIES!!!

So I don’t know how this happened. but Kung kittenwas redone as KungKitten… please disregard lol… Thanks for Support Dimi, that was my thought process as well!

Ok, so I was thinking of a few cool new Professions and Elite Professions. But I don’t want to go crazy with all of my ideas. I’ll just start with my primary one and see where it goes from there… I’d really appreciate some input (Positive preferably lol)

Wanderer (Concept): Nomads who travel Tyria in search of enlightenment. For some, enlightenment comes from going from homestead to town, helping those in need. For others, It’s going to strange lands and pummeling Orrians, Mordrim, or any Dragon minion with their fists.

(Gameplay) This profession would be a martial arts class that uses only unarmed attacks. The reason I go with this, this class would have multiple stances depending on which role you wish to play. (Tank, DPS, Support, CD, etc…). But the real beauty of this class, is that the stances and moves differ depending on race (As how real world martial arts differs culturally).The stats however would remain the same regardless of race… Examples

Norn: Norn Society’s focus is on the spirits of the Wild. A Norn Wanderer travels the land, invoking the power of Bear (Tank), Wolf (Support), Snow Leopard (DPS), and Raven (Condition Damage). A Norn wanderer seeks for the lost Spirits of the Wild, or searches for new Unknown Spirits… Fighting style would be similar to Kung kitten#8217;s different Tiger Style, Crane, etc, yet from time to time, invoking the Norn’s “Wereform”…

Humans: Krytan Society as in all Human Society has a center point of their gods. But the gods have been silent. What is humanity’s purpose? A human wanderer seeks truth and enlightenment of the universe, without the help of silent gods. The concept is more or less based off of Buddhist Monks (A religion that forgoes deities yet seeks human improvement). Combat moves would be traditional Kung kitten or Tai Chi.

Charr: We have not always been masters of industry. Charr were once primal. Why do we have Claws if not to gut our prey? Why do we have Fangs if not to rip off their flesh? Who were we? What have we become? A Charr wanderer seeks to come into contact with their “Inner Beast”. Their attacks are almost entirely based off of savage claw and biting attacks that utilize all four limbs. Stances would be based off Israeli Krav-Maga.

Asura: Masters of the mind. Asuran Wanderers seek a greater understanding of the Universe and the Alchemy through intense meditation. Their Attacks would be mainly meditative, and the Manipulation of Chi, yet also breaking into highly efficient attacks that surpass their normal physiology (Shifu or Yoda style fighting).

Sylvari: The Children of the Pale Tree are already a thoughtful lot. With Recent events proving them to be distant spawn of Mordremoth, their ideology has been turned upside-down. Sylvari Wanderers travel Tyria seeking a greater understanding of Ventari’s Teaching, and indeed their own purpose. Their attacks would be a lot of traditional Martial Arts, but Plant/Nature Themed.

Sage (Elite-Profession): A staff wielding wanderer that has found their inner quest. They specialize in Melee Staff Attacks that do intense healing to friend’s surrounding them.

I hope you enjoyed my post, and ’d really like feedback! Thank you
