Not in MMOs if that goal is to finish the game. As soon as you do everything, more gets added. The goal should be to continue, not to end.

All good. It is big of you to admit fault.

Back on topic, I have never understood why they dont have four channels on all costumes. This game is all about custom appearance, but some facets of that are actually pretty limited.

The glove skin Mistward Warfists only gets one dye channel. They could definitely add the option to change the spikes, and the other details separate from the main color. Plus, that was added in HoT, after they had a pretty good grasp on how the game functions.

Awesome. I started reading thinking "People talk shit to players in absolutely every MMO I have ever played." I was happy to see it actually ended the way the title describes.

I've mentioned this before, but the last time I played WoW about a month ago, I was fighting a mini boss type enemy in Argus (final zone this xpac), and was helped with the last 10% by a paladin also on the horse. I died at the very end, the paladin comes up to me, begins a rez, and gets about 75% of the way through it, then cancels the animation, and leaves. I whispered "Thanks for the rez." His reply was "Fuck you, your (you're) not my problem." What is the point of all that? I really like the story in WoW, but fuck that community, seriously. Just the worst group of people ever.

I'm glad GW2 has been good to you. This is a game that not only encourages helpfulness, but actually rewards you for it. I keep coming back because the game is fun, but the community is great (for the most part).

>

Do you have more than one skin you have used? Maybe you found something you liked better later on.

The answer, since you are refusing to try, is that people like to change their appearance, and would like their mount to match. This game is full of people hunting skins, and that is the endgame for most people, which is why it is called fashion wars.

In WoW, people also like to change their appearance. Why would someone want to spend weeks farming for a sword to go with their red outfit, just to ride on top of a purple mount, just because that was the first one they got? New mounts are constantly coming out, and many players like the new ones better than the ones they had.

Just because you only need one skin, doesn't mean everyone wants that. If you just try to think outside of your own head, you will find you have few questions like this.

I like the idea. I wouldn't want most of it, but it sounds cool. I do like the idea of dangling skulls tied to my saddle. Don't listen to the naysayers. Ugly is an opinion that, surprise, not everyone shares.

> @"Urud.4925" said:

> But... I'm genuinely puzzled, since I've never played WoW. What can you do when you collect so many mounts? Do you use them all, depending on the situation? Or it's just like any other achievement? Isn't it the same like working towards a long achievement in GW2? Why the mounts in particular?

> What about collecting all the pets for a ranger? Too easy? Miniatures? There are a lot of miniatures in many colours. Why mounts and not miniature?

Why have more than one skin for all of your armor? You can't use more than one at a time, so there isn't a point to having more. The answer to that question will, in turn, answer yours.

I'm glad I could help. I know they have been quite useful for me. Keep in mind, you can't sell anything on the TP from them, they are invisible to everything.

Isn't it summer break? More kids around at all times, just waiting to use the new bad words they just discovered, or just disagree with anything said for no reason.

You should get some invisible bags for stuff you dont want to be compacted.

Someone moved it here. I dont know where it was to begin with, but a mod felt this was the best place for it for some reason.

I sometimes feel like people think I'm afk farming. I was at a small hut area the other day, doing a heart to get my griffon mount (got it =P), and I had to step away after finishing an event. I came back almost an hour later, and I had several reward chests for being in the area of the event I had finished before I walked away. I was next the the heart vendor, so I thought I was in a safe zone, but I guess it becomes a little gray during that event. I'm just a guardian, though, so no pet to tag mobs, and no auto loot.

I always considered the sylvari an elf type of a race, but not the pretty, ever-youthful elves. They just seem to have the most magic tied to their existence.

I would love to get a free makeover, but I dont see this happening ever, not even a small chance. It is a money maker in this game, so they aren't just gonna give everyone a free makeover every time they add new options, otherwise everyone would just wait for the free one every time. They also don't have the new options in character creation for that very reason, which is another indicator that free makeovers have a 0.00000000% chance to happen.

> I don't care how long it takes to make up the money. But, that's partly because I bought them both on sale (which makes the time scales come down quite a bit). The convenience of having just two slots to handle 90% of my salvaging is more than worth it to me.

That is exactly what I've done with mine. It was the only thing I used in my shared inventory when we got our free slot. It hasn't moved since. I find it funny when someone tries to tell others the worth of an item. Value is subjective, and I find my copper fed machine to be more than worth the cost. Not only do I not lose any bag space to salvage kits, but I also dont lose any to random blue/green items, because they get deconstructed when my bags are getting full.

I chose the copper fed machine over the silver purely for monetary reasons. I don't make a tone of gold, but I deconstruct like crazy when I'm playing. The silver fed machine may have a higher rate of obtaining better materials, but it didn't seem worth it in the end after paying that much to break items down. Most mats I sell are worth less per unit than it would cost to obtain those mats, so you would be losing money. There isn't much in this game that is worth less than three copper, though.

You don't like fighting in a rave, with all of the over-the-top flashes, and fast movements and rolls? I dont even try first person mode on anything after ES3. These games weren't designed for it, everything is so tall and flashy.

Honestly, unless you're doing fractals, you dont need ascended gear. I would say to focus on buying ascended accessories with laurels, but exotic armor from the TP (or make it if that is easier), and work on making, or buying legendary/ascended weapons.

There are a few avenues for legendary gear now, so you aren't pigeonholed into raiding.

Major changes, outside of elite specs, would be mounts. They were instantly useable in the core world, and are, arguably, the best implementation of mounts in any MMO to date. They are more useful than gliding ever thought of being, and one mount (after five collection achievements, and 250 gold) eliminates the need for the glider.

It would be human 80%+ of the time. Is this just a troll to the already high number of vague "new race" posts? Least you have the details worked out, no matter how strange the suggestion seems lol.

Then I would say they shouldn't do that. You make it sound like the axe would be a useless weapon, but they know the pitfalls to avoid, so I highly doubt they would implement it so poorly. Tweaks here and there, maybe, possibly even a skill change for one class, but nothing like that.

Get the standard, unless you had already planned to buy the gems and the identity kit. The extra character slot might be nice, added with the other two things, but that's up to you. The outfit is okay, but very plain, though I haven't seen it on females yet.

If the races are limited in any way, there is no point to them. I do t want something forced into the game, just to take away from one aspect, or set a precedent that it is okay for ANet to half ass aspects of their development. I'm not against new races, I would definitely make one, but I am totally against shoddy, lazy work.

I see you dont want people to come in with the same "no" responses as in the past, but the answers given have merit, and substance to them. "Its too expensive and time consuming" is a valid reason to say no. "Limit the races" is not a valid reason for doing something. If all of the yes people want real discussion, they need to come up with a real solution to implementing new races, ot just "do it because it would be cool." If you work out the kinks, and come up with a logical, coherent implementation, then you can write off the people that explain why it won't be done every time this topic comes up.

Your last post I replied to asked about what usefulness PoF has to low level characters, and that you had PoF refunded. You need to be in the PoF zones to see the majority of the people online, which you cannot do. I see tons of players running zone events, or bounty trains. You play in low level zones, which in most MMOs, are the least populated parts of the world.

This, though some abilities still require an active target. It is a little disappointing when playing my rev, hitting sword 3, and seeing "a target must be selected to use this ability."

I'm still not sure what you're asking. Why can you not buy PoF and level a low level character? These two things aren't conflicting ideas, unless Fremtid is correct. There is no reason to not buy the expansion because you are playing low level characters. I have PoF and HoT, and I'm leveling a new class right now. I'm confused by your conflict.
