    What, the fact that the district did get destroyed, and actual dev statements are not enough proof for you?

    according to wiki

    " Shortly before release, developers were told to remove it, and no official reason has ever been given. Due to time constraints the district was replaced by the Great Collapse."

     

     

    i did a search on old forum and find this quote from user Nick.6972

    " this mix of styles received negative feedback from China and Korea, since those gaming markets traditionally prefer a uniform design"

     

    ok   until here it all seem believable.   but then i did some further reading, and find this quote from game designer AnthonyOrdon

    (https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/archive/cutthroat/New-thing-in-Great-Collapse/page/1#post2473180)

     

    "So, I’m not going to spoil anything but I’d like to take this opportunity to remind you guys that according to game lore, there was never a Canthan district. If you’ve done your research, you’ll know that the great collapse was formally an arts district."

     

    "Just a final quick note, I’m certainly not denying that at one point a Canthan district was planned and partially implemented. But the actual lore of the district that the game shipped doesn’t support it very well right now."

     

     

    from what i have read here it is more of a design choice.

    For what its worth, everything added to this game only has to pass Chinese standards, not the standards of other Asian cultures. If the game had a Korean or Japanese version it might be different, but for now as far as doing business goes all the devs really have to care about is whether it passes for acceptible in China.

     

    This is likely why it took us so long to get Cantha. The entire original Canthan District of Divinity's Reach was completely destroyed because it was too much of a cultural appropriation, as was GW1 Cantha in general.

     

    This time around they likely have alot higher standards to meet and are probably doing their best at it, so I'd cut them some slack and be grateful we're getting Cantha at all since investors are likely watching everything with the eyes of a hawk. There's alot of negativity directed at this expansion already.

    Other then blood, violence.. And openly hangs flag of a terrorist group.  Am unaware of any culture appropriation.

     

    Say about this district been destroyed.. You got any proof?  There are 56 official race amongst China.  Each with their own culture..   

     

    Edit. Almost forget China also have issue with addictive substance..including smoking.  And pronageph..which extend to revealing cloth..eg. Bad for child

  4. It is called "wangjin" or "网巾"。  originally wear by Taoist of both genders.  During Ming dynasty it became a fashion for man.  Which then spread through asia(including Korea).  Do Korea women wear them?  I do not know.   But it was never intend to be a male only cloth, but for anyone who wear hat. 

     

    Just saying.. it is consider very rude if you wear them without a hat.

     

    P.s. the traditional wangjin has a string that ties to the knots on top.   we dont see here, which make it a "懒收网"。 Only front area being transparent, this is a popular style in korean.   Overall this is really a hybrid.  You are safe to wear them 😃

    P.s.2 that hair style also originate from China.  For both genders...so dont worry about disrespect Chinese culture XD

    Nah, templates shouldn't be bound together -for example you can use same/similar gear template with multiple builds, while swapping single weapon or 2 in order for it to work like you want it to work. If you want them to be "somehow fused", make sure to use keybinds and bind them to the same key with different modifiers. Which means for example binding gear template to "ctrl+p" with relevant build template bound to "alt+p" (or "shift+ctrl+p" if you want to keep the finger on ctrl key). You can also right click on weapon swap button and then pick a build +right click on weapon swap again and pick relevant gear template. Just be sure you have them set respectively to 1st/2nd/3rd slots to match single build and then you know you have to swap both.

    There are multiple ways to easly help you remember and conveniently swap builds/gear templates. If that's your problem, you can already solve it. Unlocking weapons between the especs have nothing to do with it and doesn't solve anything about you forgetting to swap tempaltes.

    wait.. we can hotkey gear template?? cool didn't know that

    The solution to your whole problem is focusing more on not forgetting about changing the equipment. It shouldn't be that hard considering it's relevant in the situations where you're already changing your build. So just make the habit of changing the build AND items and you'll be fine just like pretty much anyone else is. How is this even considered to be a problem that somehow needs to be fixed with patches influencing balancing of the classes? It's not, just remember to change your gear, that's all there is to it.

     

    if weapon and trait are bound together, they should some how fuse these template together.  if not, we should be able to use whatever weapon we unlock...

    I said I play with three builds, not three elite specs. I have one power daredevil build, 1 power deadeye build, and 1 condition deadeye build.

    No. Taking daredevil means you lose access to the malice resource, which is what makes rifle deadly. Do you... not realize how malice works?

     

    Nobody is suggesting that you stick with one build. Like I said, I use 3 on my thief, and 2 of them use an overlapping gear set, so I understand the issue you have. However, the solution is easy: remember to switch rifle with staff. If you can remember to switch builds, you can remember to switch that specific weapon slot. It's much more logical than asking for weapons to be useable on specs that can't even support that weapon.

     

    1)well. with next update you will have at least one more build.. perhaps several.   i know i will have 3+ revenant build.  support and dps together ignite many sparks..  thinking  about dps, support, a bit of both.. maybe a frog jump jump build too.. which grant unlimited jumping(dodge)

     

    2)yet, you don't need malice to use rifle.   it only enhancement rifle ability.  malice have nothing to do with weapon, it work with dagger, pistol and everything else.  it is not a rifle specific resource.   

     

    3)problem is.. when you are running with a large group. it is hard to get everyone to stay and wait.   sometime people charge in too fast, before i finish change both gear and trait.    so rather then having one set of completely useless weapon, i  want these weapon at least to be functional, is that too much to ask??

     

    p.s. just saying.  for all elite there is an extra trait called Minor Proficiency, basically allow player to equip these weapons.   i think it only make sense i could use them as well.

    I wouldn't say anything is game breaking per se, but honestly your entire problem is "sometimes I switch specs but don't switch weapons." That's your problem, solved by you remembering to do something quite simple.

    I'm not entirely unsympathetic - I also have a thief that switches between 3 builds and only 2 equipment tabs. My power damage set is shared between a daredevil build and deadeye build, so even if I switch both equip and build templates, I still need to manually switch out staff and rifle. However, that's entirely on me, and it's not hard to do. It's also why I kept ascended versions of each of those, so I could swap faster.

    we are getting the third with EOD, and there will probably be more coming in the future.   

     

    Plus more weapon means more combination, wouldn't you want to play daredevil with staff/rifle?

     

    p.s. i could stick with one build, but that will dramatically shorten game's life span.  this game isn't exactly known for its rapid update.   more combination = more play time = more player playing

    So, this is more of a you problem than a systemic game issue and you want Anet to make grand, perhaps game-breaking changes to fix what you find to be a problem?

    please explain what make it "game-breaking"??  able to use rifle on a daredevil break game balance???   please give an example. 

     

    Anet separate equipment template and trait template, each elite specialization came with different weapon.  it only make sense to allow all weapon on all specialization.  

     

    p.s. if you have any example of game breaking weapon, please kindly provide one
