Ywhre.9734 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Revenge of the Marionette achievement section was originally a Bonus Event and now resides in Side Stories. However, this particular World Boss is the same scale as Triple Trouble and Tequatl, and so deserves its own section in General. Origins of Madness is the Living World episode mastery (and should be ideally moved to Story Journal section), so Revenge of the Marionette is the perfect fit to guide players towards this content without it drowning between Return achievements. Additionally, the meta achievement, 'Master of the Marionette' could reward a title, just like TT and Tequatl do. "Clockwork Vanquisher" is my suggestion for that title. Several new rewards from the event would be welcome as well. Marionette's sword is the perfect fit, additionally, already existing rewards such as Mini Twisted Nightmare, Mini Enraged Twisted Nightmare, Twisted Watchwork Shoulder Scraps, and new variants of this shoulder skin (one for left shoulder and one for both shoulders - could be a Mystic Forge recipe requiring both left and right skins) could be included as well. Moving the public event to Open World would be amazing as well, but it would require much more work. Some new rewards could boost the longevity for Marionette event so that it gets completed more often, given the majority of the playerbase most probably got all their achievements during the bonus event. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentMoore.9453 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Sounds like a good move in the achievement panel and yes to improved awards - wouldn't mind seeing a return of the tri-key pieces. Now, I dunno about making it an open world event since it's already been implemented as an instance, but I'd 10/10 enjoy seeing it put in the world boss portal device for easier access and greater visibility. As for titles, maybe something like 'No Strings Attached'? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doggie.3184 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 It'd be nice if they were legendary blank slates and everything else was just a "skin." They're already useable on all characters, more-so with shared slots, so it's nothing more than a nice quality of life change to save a little time if they do it. People would probably find buying "skins" more appealing than feeling like they're buying the same thing multiple times. It's essentually the same thing they're buying now but it'd just look like a more positive advertisement imo. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could start selling glyphs for the tool price then since people will need some on all their alts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teratus.2859 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 I'm fine with the idea of buying multiple sets for other characters but I do wish it was cheaper to do so though. I've got a lot of characters.. i'm not paying 1000 gems per tool for 20-30 characters.. just no lol. Now if a set of 3 unlimited tools cost me 800 gems.. that would be a very very different story. I'd gladly by a set of unlimited tools for every character I have and will make in future if that were the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telgum.6071 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Just get three shared slots, put there the permanent harvesting tools and equip every character with basic tools, so you can swap the tools quickly between characters by just clicking on them, no need to even open the panel hero or the bank.

For a convenience item, adding 6 clicks per character does undermine the value. Specifically, it makes it less convenient (not even counting the three shared slots needed to do this). You could equally say "It's too much to ask people to go and buy spare tools from a vendor". The point is, the tools as they are don't represent particularly good value to many people, because they are both not as convenient as they could be, and relatively expensive. I obviously don't have the data to support this, but I hypothesise: Single character unlocks (current system): Few buy 1 set, Very few buy multiple Account wide unlocks, with skins purchasable at a reduction: Some buy a set, few buy multiple skins. If this hypothesis is correct, then the second option would be far more profitable, and also feel less like a cash grab. The current system is lose lose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosen.9387 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Let us completely get rid of the personal story star in content guide area. I dont want to do the story million times over and over with each new character and i don't want to see it cluttering up the screen with green star. Same applies to everything like current community events (orange stars) etc. Let us hide player names in open world squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea considering you can get skinless tools for black lion statuettes sometimes, I think more people got the tools then the few you say in your hypotesis. Thats not even counting in the few who bought for multiple characters as people have said they do already. And if it is to expensive for people they are free to use karma or coin bought limited ones forever. Whats next ask for the tool glyphs to be account shared, then that is to little so you want 2 slots on each gemstore tool instead of 1 for the coin and karma ones? Were do it end.

ZeftheWicked.3076 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 I agree with OP on the legendary accessibility part for infinite gathering tools. It's a gemstore item, there is no higher tier (that could be deemed true legendary) and should be convinient to use. More sets should get sold for their visuals and glyphs, not inconvinience of transfer between characters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Malone.5641 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 This will never happen for at least 2 reasons- it goes against the gem shop philosophy and it would be unfair to players who have bought multiple unlimited harvesting tool sets. All gem shop items are either cosmetic or convenience items that offer no substantial advantage in game play. Basic players (i.e. only bought base game and basic expansions) can achieve anything in the game that players who spend on the gem shop can achieve, it just might take a little longer. Nothing in the gem shop gives any players a substantial advantage over any other player. However, the advantage of buying unlimited harvesting tools that apply to all characters on a single account would cross the line from a convenience to a "must have" advantage, especially for players with large numbers of characters. There is also the issue of what to do about players who have already purchased multiple sets of gathering tools. This change would be tremendously unfair to them, and ANet is very unlikely to offer any sort of compensation or refund to those players who spent gems for an item that no longer matters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibson.4036 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 I love that I can do things in the open world while waiting for the PvP queue to pop. The notice in the middle of the screen when it does pop can be problematic depending on what you’re doing, fighting or mid flight. Id like to suggest the box be moved off center, possibly to the top right quadrant. There’s enough time to finish killing a mob or find a place to land, but the box in the middle of the screen makes it very difficult to do so. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayin.8167 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 You should make outfits able to be sold/traded because having to wait months for items to return is a bit dumb. I’m sure you’d make more sales by people wanting to hold onto and sell for profit later. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violence.4916 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) The gift of exploration should be part of a collection achievement to create an item to give an alt 100% central Tyria waypoints.

Carnifex.3275 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) So... about mouse cursor. I know this topic probably was mentioned thousands of times. But it's really desperately needed. Most people use yolomouse probably but i wish Anet could atlast implement a customizable in game cursor (size,color and most importantly that it would stay visible while mouse button is being held).

Blck Drgn Roku.9387 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Every time i play, i usually change characters regularly, either for playing a specific class or alt parking. During those character changes i often forget to unequip my volatile tools, which i'm sure a lot of people have that issue. The problem was today when i decided to delete a character i wasn't liking, so i did after emptying the bags... just to notice i didn't unequip (again!) my gathering tools. After an understandable moment of blinding rage against myself, i quickly opened a ticked and thankfully i got my tools back. For this tragedy to happen to each one of innocent forgetful players, my proposal is this: add a marking on the character that has equiped a limitless gathering tool and/or other expensive item (like something that was bought from the in game store and wasn't redeemed or left in the bank). Just in case further tragedy proceeds, like deleting by mistake for not noticing the marker, while adding the character's name it should be added a small legend, in caps or similar noticable way, that says something like "VALUABLE ITEMS EQUIPPED OR IN INVENTORY". We must have in mind that some times the players are just not focused at all in order to have this kind of decisions made without the proper warnings. Or sometimes we simply need to have a lot of idiocy (like mine) in mind. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentMoore.9453 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Not opposed to this, but also not sure how the system would determine which items are valuable. Because of that, it might be better to add a message in red text like (Did you remember to check your inventory and gear for valuables?) or something similar either to the confirmation window or as a separate window that you can click through to get to the confirmation screen. This might be enough to grab your attention and jog your memory without slowing down someone who's already sure they want to delete. Mind you, I don't delete characters very often and this isn't really an issue for me, but I know there are a ton of people who make and wipe characters regularly and who have to juggle things like gathering tools since they're not an accountwide upgrade. Any little things they can do to prevent item loss and simultaneously reduce the support workload sounds good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungrul.9358 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I'd prefer it if gem store infinite gathering tools were treated as Legendary and added to the armory, but I suspect that this won't happen, as ANet probably make a lot of money off of people buying multiple copies of gathering tools.
