  1. The loot system not being "first to tag gets the loot" is part of the formula that helps create a more helpful environment in the community. With the amount of collections and other "to do lists" people often join up together to get these things done or people help out because in this game a guide can be indispensable. I'd even go as far as to say that end game playing involves a good amount of helping others. Instead of saying that Gw2 has an abnormal amount of saintly people I think it has more to do with Anet creating a game that promotes helping others.
  2. You could also take my ports for Chalice or whatever JP. I do a special RP Theatrical/Joking type of run. If you ever have time or want the tokens or chest, you should check it out. I'm NA server btw.
  3. Every time I think I am being reasonable with height I end up being a midget compared to everyone else. If max height feel too tall, then just back off it ever so slightly
  4. Its because other genres do things a lot better than any mmo. Balance is better in Fighting games like Street Fighter or FPS like Halo, TF2, Counter Strike. Boss Battles Are better In games designed more for single player or small groups like Dark Souls series. Games like GTA actually have dynamic events that feel less scripted and can seem to happen randomly. Every category is somewhat compromised in an mmorpg and I believe there are a few reasons: An mmorpg tries to do everything instead of having more focus like other genres.There are network limitations, including badwidth that make things harder to accomplish in mmorpgs. Population of the game plays a role. Having so many people playing at once makes it hard to balance and codeThe old RPGs And MMORPG's set a trend which still happens today where skills fell less real, less impactful. They followed the Final Fantasy, Dragon Warrior, Turn based games. MMORPGS would have been in a better spot had they followed more of the real-time/ action mechanics and strategies like Secret of Mana, Zelda, Terranigma, etc etc. Hopefully MMORPG's of the future will catch up in other areas like other genres, and I have to give GW2 credit for trying to make dynamic events dynamic and somewhat random, but I think they just found it hard to implement. They also added the dodge mechanic which was another step in the right direction. So out of all the other MMORPG"s currently, I think ANET's original mission for GW2 came the closest to being able to leave some of the less desirable things from the MMORPG market. It was not a complete failure, I call it a partial success. Hopefully they realize some of the stuff they wanted to implement some years down the road.
  5. I think it would be cool if they added a gemstore item that put SAB in your home instance. Just make it a crazy amount of Gems. Something Higher than 5000 that way everyone wouldn't have one, still making SAB season special.
  6. I always had a feeling I was being watched at the TP. Now I know why. As to the OP's question; It takes an extra step which isn't so bad and it saves Anet from having to store it.
  7. Bench of the Final Judge is an account bound Item and therefore can not be gifted in any way.Sorry :/ There are two versions and one is not account bound.If you type in "bench" and search for items not currently available in the TP it should pop up. I believe the unbound one you can trade and is a drop from a raid boss. I found only the Bench of the Final judge which is account-bound and Shrouded Bench of the Final Judge which is Ascended so it can't be sold nor mailed either. Is there third version?Its on the TP. If you simply put "bench" in the search function and then remove the little "show only available" box by clicking the x button. You also have to realize the the one sold on the TP is in a container... and the container is not account bound. Let me see if i have time to print screen it showing that its in the TP.

  9. I have a hefty request. I would like the "Bench of the Final Judge". I don't expect anyone to just gift me it. But if you could give me a deal on it, I would greatly appreciate it. I do RP events for the community and am planning to do more types and this would be a wonderful addition. Cheers!
  10. It would still do that but have more build diversity with the changes I recommended unless you use alot of one type of utility. But then its massive rng.
  11. I think the reset cool down feature should instead reset one of your healing,utility, or elite slots instead of one type of ability.That way instead of having to choose weird wonky setups for improv, you would instead have much more build diversity and the trait could actually become useful. Now that I think about it I believe a post like this was made years ago.... but I think its time improv was more synergistic and promoted variation and this would be one way to do that. Someone might argue .... "think of all the variations, they don't want to balance that" but most of the thief utilities are pretty weak as it is. Can you honestly see a combo that would be over the top?
  12. I just have to say this but revealing clothes of either sex is the most ridiculous thing in a game where you get hit by sharp objects. There is this cool game called Rust. It lets you run around naked and it also makes more sense with the game thematically being naked. If u really like to flaunt pixels... try that game.
  13. I tried cloud gaming a couple years back, it was called O something. Anyways It wasn't quite ready for commercial release. Anybody who cares about response times will not like this type of service. It might be okay for casual game play and certain instances where responsiveness is not as much of a concern. That's one of the technical issues that's holding the tech back but lets talk about the big can of worms. Cloud computing has the ability to invade privacy like never before. If your using local apps and sending info over the internet yes it can be looked at but first it needs to be analyzed and unpacked to be able to read it. With these streaming cloud gaming services, the live stream of what your doing in the game originates from their server so it makes it much easier to snoop. The whole concept of cloud computing removes power and possession away from the player and gives the companies more control. As long as these kinds of services are optional then I don't mind. If games start becoming streaming exclusive, I wont be playing them.
  14. Im not sure this is accurate.. don't its safe unless u research this better, but I would think u could use the same keyboard if the accounts all had different button assignments so that you are controlling both accounts at the same time, but independent of each other. Im pretty sure if its like using two computers at the same time (requiring more coordination) then it should be ok as long as its one action per click. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
  15. I really hope the Cook's Outfit and Frying Pan Toy come back. I have been waiting for it to pop up every day now for quite some time.
  16. Cat 5 handles up to 100Mb just fine, so unless you have an Internet connection faster than that (doubtful, unless you have fiber directly to your house) there is nothing to be gained by using Cat 7 cables. I have 300Mb service and Cat 7s. sad part is people like that never understand these things at all . that is why they are stuck in the stone ages :p btw 300mb and cat7 to boot very nice :3 B) B) Wait , are u sure this isnt one of those HDMI things... you know how magically a 1080p digital signal is better because u spent 60 dollars on a monster cable from best buy. I.E. if your not getting packet loss I don't see how you would get less ping/latency. Perhaps if you have a monster bandwidth connection, but us sub 100/mbs I would think would be no improvement.
  17. Instead of tweaking skins to kingdom come, have the passengers transform into something more uniform or not seen from the outside at all. By transforming u could have more than 2 you could carry multiple people but i think 2 would be enough. Any thoughts? I kinda think it would be cool if somebody wanted to show u something in game and u could travel on the same mount together.
  18. GIve me any good sounding instrument that is chromatic, can play chords. and at least 3 octaves. Let me bind the keys so i don't have to octave switch. I will pay 6000 gems for it.
  19. Perhaps you posted a theory thread out there some time ago and everything you said came true. Now its time to gloat so you bump that bad boy right up to the top. Yes, your full of pride and ha ha I told you so. Savor it.. Yes that should be something allowed.
  20. Thief is not supposed to be an assassin ...... in this game and this game only .
  21. Pretty nice map, nice effects.Story was ok, a little underwhelming back story of the Sunspears. I think it might of needed a bit different introduction into the secret sunspear order. Joko felt dominating and evil. That's a good thing, a character u can learn to despise. Overall id say it was pretty good... BUT ONE THING THAST BOTHERS MEEEE NO JUMPING PUZZLE !?!?!?!?!?!?!
  22. Perhaps a compromise is in order. The amount of skins is the reason that this really burns people because u might have to dump a ton of money or gems just to get one skin you wanted. I have two suggestions. 1. Offer smaller bundles based on type of mount or type of effect. You can have packages to unlock all skins of one type of mount or unlock one type of skin (fire, cosmic, etc.) 2. Offer a mystic forge item that would guarantee a particular skin. This item could be obtained through the store or through a collection and used in the mystic forge in combination with the contracts.
  23. The Maps Are Fun, The Mounts Are Fun, Griffon is Amazing. The Story was okay, I would of liked to see Taimi a bit more in person, though her banter was appreciated on the comm system. There didn't seem to be as much content in this xpac as there was in HoT. I seemed to have finished the Personal Story faster and I feel there isn't as much reason to go back as there is with HoT. I think a better way of getting to the Crystal desert would have been for the air ship to crash land in a dust storm and have u wondering around in a dust storm (think lost woods in first Legend of Zelda) That way we get a feeling of isolation and then we finally reach an "Oasis", Or are rescued by a native traveler. I Wish there would of been some JP content. Another thing that would be cool would be bandits that actually go around the map as if hunting for the players.Thats all i can think of now. I really hope you impress us with the Living Story and new events.
  24. 9600 gems is crazy considering most people only really want 5-10 skins. Its a bit counter intuitive because most people will probably only equip 5-10 for their characters and the rest will be wasted. I'd say the celestial, fire, flashy ones should be sold individually but at a premium... Somewhere around 800-1600 gems each. And maybe even more options like different packs.... Unlock all mounts for one type of mount. So you could have a griffon pack, Jakal pack, etc. Price could be 1500-2000 gems. Another Idea would be to base it on themes. Celestial pack, flame pack, etc giving u the type u want....and one of the type u choose for each mount type.9600 is a lot of gems to throw down for guaranteeing you get what you want. If you want to do packs thats fine, But let us have smaller bundles so we don't have to feel terrible about buying something, and decide not to buy it because it simply isn't worth it. This is a case of smaller=better and more money for you guys I believe.
