Xenon.4537 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Hi everyone, I was just thinking about the possibility of new boons or conditions that could be added to the game for flavor and gameplay. I know it's a tall order for balance and probably unlikely, but speculation is fun. What are some ideas for new boons or conditions that would be cool to play around with?I have an idea for a condition that could make bleeding more interesting. It's called "hemorrhage" and the basic idea is that it interacts with bleeding to produce spikes of damage. Hemorrhage only stacks duration, not intensity. It doesn't do any damage initially. In order for hemorrhage to deal damage, you need at least 10 stacks of bleeding on the target. If you maintain hemorrhage for 10 seconds, and the target has at least 10 stacks of bleeding, then hemorrhage will deal a spike of damage equal to the bleed stacks. So hemorrhage only deals damage once every 10 seconds, and if you cleanse it off, then it deals no damage at all. However, if left untreated, hemorrhage will hurt a lot in the long run. I know it's a really rough idea, but I've always wanted to find a way to make bleeding more interesting, and I took some inspiration from the way bleeding works in dark souls. Anyway, does anyone have some ideas, or is gw2 completely finished developing new mechanics like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonArkanio.6419 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Oh man, I think we should cut the amount of boons and conditions in game. Firebrand, Mallyx Rev or Condi Necro are the perfect examples. If boons and conditions were more profession-oriented, then I think it would be a perfect opportunity for new ones. Currently all classess have access to almost every boon and condition in the game and this makes it pretty hard to balance from a PvP / WvW perspective.But I really like the concept.

Memoranda.9386 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Hopefully not. There are plenty as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodama.6453 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Could be interesting to get some more unique conditions and boons. Some ideas:condition that prevents boons to work (basically the opposite of resistance, resistance should have priority)condition that prevents other conditions from ticking down while still applying their effect (should be really short and limited) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sokeenoppa.5384 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I rather take more personal buffs/group buffs like spirits, ap, spotter, banners etc. They can or can not stack with previous buffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blocki.4931 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 We should have some more new and different buffs that aren't boons. Stuff not everybody can have up all the time or that would be added elsewhere after the fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoni.7015 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 We don’t need more boons or conditions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otto.5684 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Condis or boons? Probably not. PoF did not have new condis or boons either. Just barrier. Boons in particular will be straight up power creep. Maybe a new gear stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuks.8241 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 More? Less would be better. And less access to them. Now I press 2 buttons and apply all possible condies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jski.6180 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 They need to add in auras for all field types even water needs it own aura type. It would be nice to see an earth field. I am not sure if you need more boon types unless they make resistant a counter to soft cc only and add in a protection for condi dmg. As for condis i would love to see a your boons duration is cut or your boon duration ticks faster making the boons not last as long on players. Something for classes who do not have boon strip.

"Disease" can be the reverse Resistance condition. I don't think the condition extender should be a condition, rather it should be an instantaneous effect that adds 2 seconds to all conditions on the target. There are several mechanics in the game already that add a few seconds to all boons, so the condition version should mirror this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fields add intractable magic on top of the earth. What would an earth field look like? A pile of sand or an area with floating rocks? A dusty/sandy spot would practically be a smoke field. What would happen if someone spun around or shot an arrow through said earth field? It seems like the floating rocks would block your arrows or knock you in the head during a leap rather than become part of your attack. There is also no reasonable way to combo into an earth field to generate a magnetic aura. Would I stomp so hard in on stone shards that it would generate a gravitational force?

Jski.6180 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Well smoke is very different then dust and there a few dust field that have an earth "magic" to them easy filling that earth field that missing form the game. Earth IS a magic type in this game but for some reason it was never given a field but it was given every thing else.All blast combo should be aoe support healing boons and clears leaps should be aura so adding in a smoke/shadow aura and a poison aura would fit well. So an earth field would be a protection blast and earth aura leap projectile would be a bleed and a whirl should be a cripal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
