Mungo Zen.9364 Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Trying to understand the Novelty Chair and Arborstone Rested thing. After testing it, it appears that every 15 seconds this new effect adds 2 minutes to your Incredibly Well Rested buff. What purpose does this serve, was this something players asked for? It seems like such an odd addition unless it is a precursor to getting other EoD features being added to Core and older expansion maps. Does this hint at us seeing Jade Battery and Jade Offensive and Defensive Protocol outside of EoD at some point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People asked for this buff to be added to main cities and other hubs where players tend to idle/log out on a regular basis, with the prerequisite that you first own EoD and level up the related masteries. I didn't anticipate it being added to chairs; weird move, but I guess that's fine. In practice, I imagine you'll see a bunch of chairs around merchants where people are racking up the buff while doing their trading post and inventory management for the day. I'd still like to see the buff added as a passive benefit for staying/logging out in main cities/hubs, but having it on chairs doesn't seem harmful (yet). 18 minutes ago, Mungo Zen.9364 said: Does this hint at us seeing Jade Battery and Jade Offensive and Defensive Protocol outside of EoD at some point? Maybe, since HoT/PoF elements (Mushrooms, gliding, ley lines, mounts) have seen their uses outside of expansion maps. As long as it's required that you have EoD first, they'll still get their sales and the masteries might feel less cheap if they aren't map/region locked, but who knows? 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be enough if these are available on EoD and season 6 maps. I think the devs would most likely balance difficulties of future contents with the Jade Tech Protocols in mind, so I believe we will see these Jade Batteries and protocols in future open world maps as well. Season 6 and beyond. But, after season 6 (or Cantha), I don't think overabundance of jade related stuffs make much sense, so I think some battery charging stations and protocol units packed in a few limited "safe spaces" across the maps would be the ideal approach towards this issue. Edit- Also, the reasoning behind some of the changes could be as simple as "because it makes sense". Like, I remember back then, in raid settings, guardian scepter was more effective than main hand sword. They didn't think it makes sense for a ranged weapon to do better in melee than a melee weapon, so they buffed the main hand sword (or nerfed the scepter?). The same thing could apply here. Because look, it does make sense that you get rested if you sit on a chair for some time. Edited November 11, 2022 by Raffrey.5271 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoky.5348 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Wait, so you get the rested bonus in any hub so long as you sit in a chair and have the masteries? And to be sure, chairs are something you can only get through the gemstore because they never added any boring, generic free ones? I guess my point doesn't mean much 'cause you already need to pay for EoD, but it just seems odd to me that you need to buy a chair, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoky.5348 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 (edited) Mm-hm, l see. These are several somethings. The trickiest thing about this game is not knowing where to start; l was convinced chairs were a shop thing only. Good learns were had today, appreciate it. I'm still concerned there are still so few "normal" chairs, but this is one more that l knew about prior.

I kind of disagree with this. Many a thing has been blamed for ques over the years, and each has been dealt with to the point that there are still afkers and in many tiers only ques on reset night or weekend, which has in turn been blamed on low population or transfers. Commanders still take time to gather and have to take bio breaks during their shifts and an extra experience buff in wvw is a good thing for the majority.

phs.6089 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Arborstone Incredibly Well Rested should give exp from all sources. Who on Earth needs pve only? If Arena wants people to show off their chairs to boost the sales it needs to be all sources. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
