Why does so much of the armour look so bad?
Zedek.8932 replied to chrispy.7182's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
You are so right. My two sets of clothes are Sneakthief when it gets rough or the Noble Count when I feel comfortable.Here is an excerpt of my wallpaper. You can see both sets also follow a real theme, and not just throw in "huge shoulder pads, cleavage" etc. The sneakthief set - except for the hideous headpiece that I replace with my leather mask that I chose as first item and my aviator shades- is really perfect and all I need for my little Deadeye. I like every bit of it, and grey (black) and black (shadow abyss) dye works on it so well that you can still see the material (leather) and accents and not just a over-saturated mess. And about the quality of the gemstore outfit - it was a no-brainer when I saw it. For some reason, the tails of the tailcoats (in German these are called "Schwalbenschwänze", but there is no English term for that?) of the Noble Count outfit behave properly when I kneel for sniping. Also, the golden chains on that outfit can be heard moving with a soundeffect every 2nd step or so. So not only the texture quality, but also little details like these and even the physics work better then the old ones. It's a pity that only like 3 sets (the aforementioned two and the ghostly outfit) are outfits that I enjoy. The "Noble" set is also nice, but works only for my engineer. Excelsior. -
Bless (hehe!) has that. It sounds okay, but once you know the "default" / C tone in music, you can hear that it's pitched. It's just a mind game though, but it irks me.For example, my Mascus both have a slightly higher pitch because of..being small, but you still know that it's a bit artificial. The French one seems to hastily and out of breath, but each to their own. Excelsior.

Solo content has become too hard for me.

You forgot the "and use the most cheesy profession to faceroll" part.I think it's terrible that you talk like that to the OP. That's an awful and condescending way that even me Asura freak shocks. To OP:Just pick what you think is fun. I do not do the slightest of the bulldung that is around in this game and that's what I like about it. Enjoy it your way.I can understand a lot what you say. Not that I've ran into something I should get trough and could not alone (100% solo here, and KeoLegend is a reason why is that) but there were fights where I gave up any reasonable tactics or something and "predict" and "learn, learn, learn". In one fight, forgot which one, there was some funky thing spinning around in a small arena boss room (Looked like a sewage treatment plant's sieve) and I could not dodge as often as it appeared, have been downed like three billion times. I cheesed my way trough it. HoT is totally on hold and I can't complete it too. Heck, I skipped a lot of the story because of that. I also had to Skipp Orr back then. All the story does not make sense to me because of that. Right now I can't find my way to Rata Novus and so I am in the desert. Picking stuff that is fun is easy. But I still know how it feels. The caves full of Mordrem that respawn so fast or stop you from recovering so that you have to die eventually are a terrible game design and has nothing to do with difficulty in sense of challenge, but rather arbitrary quirks and bugs (e.g. I can hit a boss as kneeled Deadeye but it counts as being too far away - the boss plattform only matters. Why do I have a ranged profession in the first place? Or "No valid path to target. Or aggro getting stuck, preventing me from recovering health, super small ledges in HoT that prevent Daredevil and Thief being played properly due to our acrobatic playstyle launching us off cliffs etc. etc.). But as said, just calm down and do the things you enjoy. I skip probably 90% of the game and it's actually a waste of harddisk space, but when I do play, I have a blast! :-) Excelsior. -
Get out. Really.I am just recovering from that terrible Deadeye bug-up and nerf that caused me to quit for 2 months and now you come up with that Charr dung?

I'd like me to be the guy that saves the world. "Snaff Savant". Pah! It's probably a codename for "the college dropout"? Or is it because I skipped college to learn how to stab people in the back and how turn invisible that she thinks I should not bother with anything intelligent?I'd want to teach her a little bit of respect towards me. Or Catlock.

To the people who stop and help at HPs
Zedek.8932 replied to ThrottleFox.2735's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
First I could not really care since this game has no real penalty for death, but since my Asura is a Deadeye, it is just pure fun to watch people in areas that are tougher and assist them. Right now I do not really feel like advancing in the game, so I log in and usually watch new(er) players doing their thing. Occasionally I see one of them being surrounded and their health is, despite good gameplay, not recovering fast enough. Then I get off of my Springer, grab my sniper rifle and kneel down, waiting for malice to stack up. If he's not done, I'll let the bullets rain down. The feel of satisfaction in this is really outstanding, especially when he gets downed, you kill them off and if he does not get up from a tagget target that died, gliding down and get him up on his feet. These situations are awesome. However, about ressurection, sometimes I see a dead cat or Bookah and when I revive them, they are AFK or something, getting downed by randomly spawning Wargs. I can not guard that guy forever, so when I see it's in the middle of nowhere, I might also run past. Who would just sit there, waiting forever instead of waypointing back? In general is it okay to be cautious and not ressurecting everyone. Excelsior. -
Can we have an honest conversation about "Outfits?"
Zedek.8932 replied to Shmanka.4628's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
I like outfits because I have two gear sets: My sneakthief leather clothes (with aviator shades) - and my Noble Count outfit. Before I had the noble set as substitute, and changing that took so much time. Now I turn on my Outfit when I am chilling / at the town and off when I am about to kill people. That saves so much time! Excelsior. -
Excelsior, I am Zedexx, Asura assassin and sniper, a.k.a. the AngelOfDeath™My current wallpaper. Several days on and off. 118 individual layers, mostly the splatters, some are down to 5% opacity. 142 MByte (!) uncompressed! Deadeye is beautiful in almost every aspect and and goes well together with my Asura. Since we steal now by using "black magic" instead of physically taking stuff from people (or ripping out poor Moa's feathers), being a mean, sneaky, 120cm AngelOfDeath kneeling on top of ledges or rooftops and land successful Death Judgments works very well. Due to our size, we Asura need to use guerilla tactics and shoot people (or Skritt) from afar. Being a highly skilled marksman also fits perfectly with a well-educated Asura, because instead of getting my hands dirty, I will let the bullets do the job: Precise, clean and quick. If things get tricky, I still carry my daggers or pistols with me all the time. If I am in (OST from "Death Sentence") I change my Noble Count outfit and its precious gold chains and brocade clothes and put on my black leather gear and shades...

How tall is too tall for a Charr
Zedek.8932 replied to Icemanfrost.5428's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
I think many advices are helpful, but just like everything, if you are used to it and don't know it otherwise, he will be fine as cat of any size in every content. I hear so much BS about being small - as Lalafell, Asura or Yordle - in video games and I always just wonder: "What are they talking about". The OP should play a kitty cat because we desperately need more Charr in this game. Do not discourage them with stuff he would not care about when he's a hardcore Charr fan. Excelsior. -
ArenaNet Forum Chats Coming!
Zedek.8932 replied to Gaile Gray.6029's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
I think an AMA should be about asking ONE question, and get ONE answer. Something like a FAQ or so, THEN you can create little discussions out of it - if necessary at all. When I see reddit - a, in my opinion, horrible place in many aspects - there is so much nonsense to collapse that it works not better or worse than any other bulletin board style of boards. If it's a following question on something already answered, then it could be done using the regular quote feature. But every person adding one-liners, such as "+1", "yeah me too" and "KAPPA" is not something I want to have to collapse in the first place. Excelsior. -
The overall composition and camera angle, colour adjustment, choice of weapons and pose is very well done!This could be some character of a Japanese Dreamcast game or something, really like it!

Disable tool tips during combat
Zedek.8932 replied to nopoet.2960's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
In general, I deal with two frustrating things during combat, not directly linked to the skill tooltips, but two other things that make me scream (I actually do) in anger: The game knows when you are in combat, so why would it display that my inventory is full. Now you could say that I just have to be careful, or change looting options or behaviour, but for some reason, this keeps happening, not sure what buttons I mash in the heat of the action (For a rifle Deadeye there are two parts of a fight: The one when I am the predator from afar sitting there sipping on my tea and wait for pulling the trigger, and the part when that fails and I gotta get more engaged in close combat. This particular scenario keeps happening in the latter scenario..) The wombo-combo of annoyance tops up with me pressing ESC in hectic to close it, but no, it makes me open the game's menu...Why would you spam a window in my face that does not respond to ESC? The ultimative "get out of anything" button with a self-describing name since 1985*? Excelsior. *Random year. -
Will 3rd Expansion happen at all?
Zedek.8932 replied to yefluke.3168's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
You are absolutely right with the first portion. It is the reason why they get up in the morning and leave the house.They will do something to keep the game running as long as possible instead of letting it die out of the nowhere.
