upcoming relic... no golemancer... Starting to really dislike this relic system...

[Zzik.5873]

Apparently people know what the upcoming relics are going to be... It does not seem like the golem is coming back... if thats the case this expac is starting to look like the worst... If the golem never come back, Im not sure Im going to buy the next dlc. Not paying to get stuff taken away... Imagine how cool the relic system would have been if it was simply added on top of rune... Now rume are a total mess (we have so many double set that does the same thing and name does not make sence with only stats boost, rune are lame now) and because relic have taken away my golem, base layer they come with bad taste in my mouth... Anet carefull, your walking on egg shell right now.

Purchasing the expansion is mostly irrelevant, the system as a whole changed anyways, whether you bought soto or not.

[Marikus.1875]

Lol, you'll buy the next DLC, relax.

Not really and in content where you want your CC's to be on point the golemancer golem is more of a nuissance.

It is, however, fun in the open world and for RP purposes.

[Linken.6345]

Cool got any info on what relics they are giving since you seem to know no golem OP?

There is something called enjoyment. And that has been reduced for a number of people, who lost their preferred rune effects.

Not everyone plays for the biggest numbers.

I dont, I just see people on yt and reddit talking about upcoming relics, like they know whats coming? Im as cluless as you are, but some people seem to know.

[Moira Shalaar.5620]

Anet did a livestream that talked about the upcoming patch including new relics.

How many times have we seen people say this only for them to still buy regardless...

[HnRkLnXqZ.1870]

It speaks for itself if they only talk about it in the livestream and no give us any written piece of information. On the SotO launch they did not even bother to publish a list about the new relics. A trend I am not looking forward to continue. But on the other hand, it is ANet. There is no guarantee for anything anymore. So maybe they do yet another 180 ° turn in 2024. Who knows? /shrug

On topic: I've seen a grasp of the new relics in the Warrior sub-board. Here is the link

Credit goes to Lan, please give them the thumbs up/thanks.

I miss my Inquest Golem ☹️ it popped up randomly whenever I was in combat .

I usually wear Inquest armor styles so it matches perfectly and I remember back then I worked hard to get that specific rune so it can spawn.

Imagine you don't like an expansion because of a summonable golem.

Imagine you don't like an expansion because of a system change that was just released at the same day as that expansion.

^ This. Anet stop ruining players. It’s mentioned and requested thousands times these to be restored. Do your part. 

[MrGarlic.1834]

Agreed, although I never used the Golem runes. I did use the rockdog runes and I want it back. It's a part of my ranger build and characterisation.

I don't min-max. My girls just want to have fun, Yeah, My girls just want to have fun. Bee-bop-bop.

I don't think that is the point behind people complaining. It's more about how ANet deleted certain content for good (in this case, former Rune effects).

Well, as soon I was in combat, the golem spawned and stayed pretty long before the cooldown.

Yes exactly it spawned when ever you got in combat and lasted 60 seconds when going out of combat.

If it died when you were in combat it spawned a new one so not really randomly at all.

So yea been almost 5 years since it randomly poped up 50% of the time until it vanished at sotos release.

I think the "golem" is just a symbol of extremley boring ideas that keeps replacing the "interesting but doesn't really super work or casual players find it too complicated, but when try hards utilise they break the game" ideas.

Making everything into "bigdamage/cleanse/heal/alac or quickness"...is just I am really not a fan of it personally..but it's too late they are commited to that now.

They have been approaching everything from this "easy to balance" angle with no regards to role-playing class fantasy flavor angle imo. Which is just...not fun...maybe for pvpers it is..?? Dunno. I don't play an mmo to go like..."ranger and ele dps/heal is the same..now I am happy".

This is exactly what WoW and FF did..where the game ends up feeling like a moba..and that's what they want. Buy your 80 boost..buy soto to shortcut all the mmoness of it all..then you'll need the expansions to play the especs, and buy whatever trendy "of performer" outfit from the skin shop, easy balance, easy money. This is what they are going for.

Already have a preferred mini on my character that lost the golem. This is not a solution.

[Doggie.3184]

It's because they're deathly afraid of Specters being able to self-apply boons when solo. Blame Thief.

To be fair, RPers don’t care if its broken or works mechanically. But for buildcraft players, an imbalance causes issues across the whole game.

The real solution is look at the summoning items and reworking them. Easier to isolate out of wvw, can increase uptime, create an infinite version that keeps summoning on cool down, and tie ones to collections so the RP folks can pretend its a quest.
