Taimi should probably die.

Why the hell is it always "kill the character" that players come up with as a solution? Why is it "hey, lets mame them horribly! That will show them." Quiet frankly, ever thing needed to put the character on ice (of some format) was already given to us in the very beginning of learning of her character. I'd rather Funt (yes, spelled that way on purpose) rather pull her away from all of that, and force her into college. It would be his right to do so as much as she'd resent him for it. But would keep her safe and out of the way. Granted, at the same time, he wouldn't be able to take credit for anything new and exciting persay. So double edged papyrus. I realize that players have come not to trust ANET with story writing, but come on... shesh. -

Problem. Cats will for the most part go and use the litter box.Dogs will... for the most part go wherever when you look at the designs of the home instances. Frankly, I dont' want to step in "dog bombs". -

Still no bikini or "speedo"?

I'm not making any case for or against. I mentioned it solely as a possible issue given the behavior that FCC has shown in the past. -

One of my ex's wore her underware out to the beach. Why? looked better and it was more covering than bikinis. Just looking, you'd be very hard pressed to tell the difference. So... who is being ridiculous? The caster going into fights without protection, or my ex because she was actually more clothed? Funny thing about cultural prospectives, they can shape and cloud all sorts of judgements in manners that are odd to others. -

TL;DR : While it would be great to have, to avoid legal issues and fan controversy, technical issues have to be resolved first, as of such, no manger has wanted to champion/allow for this desire to happen. Probably because no manager or designer wants to deal with "backlash" from players concerning Charr and Asura. http://massivelyop.com/2016/06/15/guild-wars-2-is-giving-female-charr-and-asura-precursor-breast-armor/ Also, a new model would have to be created for them, let alone the "naked" model for the others would have to be update to have dyable channels. When it comes right down to it, no manager has wanted to champion suits that players have wanted for a long time. Let alone they'd have to do something such that a player couldn't dye the "underware" a flesh tone to appear naked. That can/will get Anet into trouble with the FCC.And while I hope that Asura would not, doing such with the smaller race could get Anet into trouble again with the FCC. Back when Turbine was under control of Dungeons and Dragon's online, they had to remove an NPC called Scarlet the Harlot; a halfling, not a human, prostitute. FCC claimed it was to similar to child prostitution even though it was a fantasy setting and halflings were a race. -
From an outsider perspective, not really. I can recall how much complaining I'd hear popping into WvW on occasion because the WvW people would complain about PvE people coming into their area screwing things up.Having participation as a marker will only keep the status quo, instead of encouraging non WvW people to give it a good solid shot to see if they'd like it. To me... WvW is just about legendary stuff. shrugs The way the change reads, it won't really effect me.

Winter's Presence collection too expensive to complete
OneYenShort.3189 replied to Dreddo.9865's topic in Festivals
Keep players happy and engaged so they are willing to stick around. The latest directions as shown by HoT and PoF is that ANET has said they are done with casuals and are going to instead make the game power player friendly (this is not the same level of hardcore.) My opinion: this has caused a faster bleeding of players than what is expected. Granted with expansion sales, profits will keep them around, but how much longer... hard to say. To me, that is the goal of what should be done. How to do it... there are many paths. looks at how much he spent to make Kudzu... looks at how much he has to spend to make Shining Blade Yeah... I'll just say I disagree with you. A LOT. -
Winter's Presence collection too expensive to complete
OneYenShort.3189 replied to Dreddo.9865's topic in Festivals
"Me take! you give!" - Wintersday skritt.... and many forumites it seems. Me... I think I'd have less issue with the cost if it actually came on an ascended shoulderpad. As it is, it is just a skin. Skins on the TP have a wide range of values, and presences isn't a req for another piece. So my mind just puts it down to somewhere in the 400-600 gp range. shrugs Is what it is. -
I'll do my best to keep this as polite as possible, but seeing what has been presented made me look at Anet as if it were the fabied Nigerian prince that I keep telling to kitten off. First, lets start with what Anet set as the standard. That would be the Halloween mount set where the price was about 400 gems per mount. 400 gems, with a guarantee of what you were getting. Now... what did we get presented with? For 2000, you could get a special mount. Wait, did I say special? I mean a reskined jackel that you were guaranteed to get. I can't say that a 500% increase in cost is something I'd ever consider. There is just the one skin. Nothing for the others, nothing special per race. (And while I don't know this one for fact yet as I have seen zero posts) I doubt that it moves faster, recovers endurance faster, has more porting possibilities, or even more HP to justify this extravagant price. So point blank. Unless the majority of monies gained from such a sale/purchase was going to a charity I support, I will never buy such a mount, ever, at that price. So lets flip the table now. For 400, you could get a random mount. Not a random jackel, not a random griffon, not a random skimmer, just a random mount. For the same price that we payed for getting a known mount???You know I'm fine with BLC being random. I know what I'm getting, there is some guarantee, and some chance. A gamble if you want something directly out of there, sure, but hey... we can also farm such keys in game. But this??? Have any of your managers ever gone and bought something they ride/drive? I want Anet to actually do an internal poll. How many ever said "Get me an automobile for $20,000." You could end up with a truck, jeep, mini, sedan, etc. heck, by that requirement alone you could have a complete ruined car. Nothing said it had to run. So... how many people at anet said they did that. None huh? So why the hell are you doing that to your players? Some of the mechanics in the game that are forced on us is to "mimic real life" as it were. "It would be logical for X to happen to players." While we grumble, we deal. By that same logic, NEVER have I ever seen a player or real person just buy an animal without ever looking it over that they themselves were going to own, ride, etc. And even if they did, they were strict about what they wanted. And then lets look at that term that anet put on those. Mount ADOPTION. Always in an adoption you know EXACTLY which "being" (as one can adopt both animals and humans) is being adopted. There may be a portfolio of candidates for adoption, but always the adoptee chooses the one they are willing to adopt. While under legal terms, what anet is offering is not a scam, but to me it sure as heck is a scam. I can't buy a convince I want, but I can buy a CHANCE at a convince that I desire? This has gambling and scam written all over it in my perception. Heck, what I see here is barter. Anet I charge you with conning players. I can't say that you are conning players into giving you monies because you do have the method built in of converting gold to gems. You have two opening bids now in an attempt to negate your first opening bid. You have decided to say that 400 to get a directly known mount was too little. So now you have stated, you can spend 2,000 gems for a mount of your choice, or 400 for any random mount out of a set that you don't own yet. I honestly was expecting something like 400 gems, maybe even 500 gems for a mount of my choosing due to your actual opening offers, and the fact you sell combos of gliders with backpacks for 700. So this is my counter. 100 gems for a mount of my choosing. (if you actually have a clue, you understand what I'm doing and meaning.)
