Swagger.1459 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 (edited) "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". Plus, the negativity to the change is squashing whatever positive hype you're trying to create with this new era of xpac releases. Kinda like kicking yourselves in the shin intentionally. I feel like reverting back to the old Rune design would be nice. And if the team really wants to add some kind of new "relic" system, just create something independent of runes with different buffs and stuff. Oh, and please increase base movement speed for characters and mounts. Not really fun to feel like your character is running in mud and to be dependent on movement boost sources to counter the artificially slow speeds. Also, some skills are so darn slow... boring. Makes me feel like I'm playing some ancient game. Thanks! Edited August 24, 2023 by Swagger.1459 8 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assolador.3598 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 they should bring all (6) bonuses as relics, and should be way better, thats what I thought they were doing 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertalbertson.4217 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 This system is way better, it's just that there's really not many unique feeling relics. They deleted most of the cool old ones and almost none give a 'wow cool I'd like to use that' feeling, which is such a wasted opportunity. 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, it isn't. Unfortunately we've lost a lot of great 6th Rune effects and gained very few interesting Relics. Sure they may add more in the future but they've taken away a lot of fun builds now. 5 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rune system was worse because runes are stuck with specific stats BUT the 6th rune effects were better and more unique/interesting than the current relic effects. So they should keep the relic system but add more effects that resemble or duplicate the old 6th rune effects. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoid.2568 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 No it wasn't. They just need to add all the old ones. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mell.4873 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 They will eventually add back or new ones for each Core and Elite specs, even the EoD ones. They will make them specific to the utility family or class mechanic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melumi.6432 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 I feel like this simple fix is: Return all the bonuses from the previous rune system back into the Relics and keep all the new additions - Then everyone is happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertalbertson.4217 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 We went through some of these growing pains when switching from the old trait system to the new. Remember when stats were tied to trait lines? Yeah, that was terrible, more choice is better - but the relics actually need to be significant, else what was the point... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrusse.7058 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 The biggest issue people are having with the relic system, inlcuding myself is the implementation. It feels especially bad right now because as others have said, we just traded over 100 different runes and their functions for 40 relics. Many of which that have very specific procs which means some will work better than others. The relic system has a lot of potential and it just requires that Arenanet expand the relics available, but we won't be getting that for another 3 months so, feels bad. Until then, we will have to make do with what we have. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
