Would you consider Palworld equivalent to GW2
Sobx.1758 replied to uberkingkong.8041's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
Different games, weird comparison and finally: bad idea. -
We have griffon, beetle, gliding, dodges, leaps and dashes. I don't see what niche "sliding" is supposed to fill here.

Stop Forcing Us To Do Story to Progress the Game
Sobx.1758 replied to Spook.5847's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
That's what you can do here too, story takes you to the newly released map almost right away where you can then do as much of "sidequesting" (as in: do whatever you want there or start completing achievements) to continue with the story later. As far as I'm aware, the unlocks are also available rather early into their storylines. Except current (since eod) strike release follows the [story -> normal -> cm] encounter progression , so if someone "wants to get into strikes", it would probably be in their best interest to play through the story encounters first? Other than that, they can do what I initially did -join strike lfg, tp to a friend to wizard tower and clear the strike. Then proceed with the story whenever they feel like. I don't think players have trouble "getting into strikes and raids" because of the story. And people not understanding how the game progression/map unlocks work or even how content is bound to its respective expansion is a completely different issue btw (if it actually is an issue to solve?). In that case, even if nothing here was related to the story, they'd still be as lost as they are now. -
880gold drop is a rare valuable drop. If those items were consistently dropping, they wouldn't be worth as much as they are. Because of that, your expectations are unreasonable. In that case you also should be fine with not being able to expect those rare drops here. The skins are dropping here too though -and if they don't, they're accessible through raid/strike currency. But that doesn't get in the way of you repeating "no skins" and that gold to gems doesn't count, even though you've tried claiming wow is f2p because you can grind out the sub. Not sure what logic you're using to hold these opinions at the same time. The same way "others" win the lottery and you don't. It's because apparently in your mind you're counting yourself as a single entity and the whole rest of playerbase (or "rest of the people buying lottery tickets") as another single entity where it's "you getting an item" vs "one/some of all of them getting an item". Wrong. Ofc you can, but then again you kept saying you've quit mmos (while still logging into gw2 to try and get drops from metas -again, not sure how that's supposed to work where you quit mmos but also keep logging into at least one of them), so one would believe you're actually not playing wow nor gw2?

What does this have to do with what was said in this thread about not wanting to further buff skyscale and stealing other mounts' mechanics (turtle) just to stack them on the one you want them to be on? That's right, nothing. New players can get soto, get their skyscale and get skyscale masteries all in one expansion. The solution for new players isn't for you to taxi them around, it's for them to play the game. -

In this case the precaution is not implementing this idea into the game, so I do hope they will indeed take that precaution 😉 -

I don't know about that, even your first post of the thread sounds like it starts with a complaint: "why do we have a turtle thats barely used outside of eod with passenger seat , while there is no flying passenger seat for a skyscale or even griffon". Not sure why you're so hurt by that word, maybe we have different definitions of it. Meanwhile you just completely avoided anything on-topic you just quoted. That whole "throw out some arguments, see what sticks and avoid any discussion after that if it goes against my goal" is a bit too prevalent lately for my taste. You "gave a small idea", people (including me) commented on it and explained why it's a bad idea, you've tried throwing some -seemingly, to me- random argumentation which didn't exactly land and now it's not about discussion. If forum isn't about discussion, it should have automatically locked threads after the first post. If you only "wanted to throw the idea out" then that's what you already did and now people are discussing it. -

Is 4h (regardless of validity, didn't check or time it) in a new mmo expansion supposed to be long? And, again, as far as I remember you do get skyscale directly in soto maps, which were the maps you specifically mentioned the skyscale was needed in. Right? Bond of vigor isn't a skyscale mastery, it's a general mount mastery from pof and it isn't remotely needed for any of the maps. I'm just commenting on what you're saying, not sure how that makes me the triggered one here 😉 -

If it were clear then I wouldn't be asking about it. I don't know what that "you don't get skyscale directly" is supposed to mean or be responding to -you do get the skyscale by playing through soto. The masteries for skyscale are included with soto. So either you're formulating what you mean badly or you actually don't exactly understanding what you're attempting to complain about. -
The only reason you "prefer how it was", was because it was stronger due to a bug which made it not obey its obviously intended normal limitations. Like not going through walls or having range (hence the comparison to "you prefering a bugged weapon in fps that shoots people through walls across the maps"). No, all of it is based on your posts in this thread with all these blatantly charged "nerf speedrun as usual" or "Anet tends to quickly rebalance new thief skills.", all of which attempted to put the emphasis on thief being an outlier here. If that's not what you meant there then extremely weird choice of words -repeatedly. Not sure what "baggage from another thread" I was supposed to be bringing here, should I be remembering something here? It obviously is and I'm not sure why anyone would think otherwise.

No, that's wrong. Again, search for a thread about it if you're interested, but people still use other mounts despite having the skyscale. So what was your point with that "most soto maps requiring skyscale" mention? Again: wrong, lad. -

Sobx.1758 replied to ginryu.3026's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
I'm not worked up on anything, I just commented on your idea and told you why I think it's bad. Gw2's mount system was and is good because all of the mounts are useful, I like it so I don't want that change. How is this so strange for you? "nobody using raptor or jackal or even the bunny(to the lesser degree)" is false btw. Introducing skyscale didn't kill other mounts, but people already had that discussion, you might try to search for it if you're interested. What about the explanation of "most soto maps"? And the point is that they shouldn't. Wrong thread? You're not responding to anything anyone wrote. -
Seeing movie's runtime, buying a ticket to watch it and then complaining that it was short when you already knew the duration beforehand doesn't make it a good -or probably even valid- complaint.

Adding more utility to a mount is nothing else than a direct buff. I don't think I missed any point here. What does it have to do with turtle? Turtle is the only mount that can have a passenger -something you want to give to the already most versatile mount in the game. Most soto maps require a skyscale and as far as I remember, skyscale is unlocked in soto maps "by default" either from the start or shortly after. So what does that have to do with anything here? -
I know. I also know it actually is weird. A bug fix is a software update developers make to correct an error (known as a 'bug') causing the software to malfunction malfunction -to fail to work or operate corrrectly Do you need an explanation about what "operate correctly" means too? 🤷♂️ You're literally just trying to claim you're somehow oppressed based on the class you're playing or that thief has some special "nerf/gutting" position in anet's mind. It doesn't, you're wrong. All they did was fix a bugged skill to work as it was intended to. Your attempted claim about leaving the bug ingame and changing the description instead because it was stronger when bugged so that's why it should remain like that!! makes absolutely no sense. No, the way it function wasn't "better", it was broken (which is exactly why you're prefering it, similarly like in my example from the previous post, duh). Nobody is "labeling it as bug fix to change the reality", it literally is just a bug fix, your attempts to pretend otherwise are futile and will not change the reality. And this is worth pointing out considering there were situations where effects were nerfed, but still labeled as "bug fixes" in patch notes. Except in this case that's obviously not what it is. And it wasn't nerfed quickly, it was fixed quickly. It being a thief has nothing to do with any of this, your opinion about it is clearly heavily biased. See above, this is a complete nonsense to try playing it off as you're an "oppressed class" (or as if it's some "gutting/nerf speedrun") when all the devs did was fixing an obvious bug. Ridiculous.
