I must be doing something wrong, it won't let me put a glyph on any of the volatile magic limited use tools I have. Is it because you can't put them on something that already has an ability, even if that ability isn't a glyph?

Thank you so much! Didn't know you could even do this on the fly. Downloaded Stylish for Chrome and made a variant of yours.

.BoxButtons.BoxNewDiscussion

{

transform: translateX(-60px);

position: relative;

}

.PageControls.Bottom .BoxButtons.BoxNewDiscussion

{

display: none;

}

.BoxNewDiscussion .ButtonGroup .Button

{

height: 35px;

padding-top: 8px;

}

.BoxNewDiscussion .Button.Primary.Handle

{

height: 35px;

padding-top: 8px;

}

As long as it does not actively, through new PvE open world mechanics, or passively, through new player behavior, impact my game play, then I suppose that's fine.

Well, unless it involves needing team members that are otherwise hard at work on that custom outfit I asked for using pieces of old mix-n-match clothing. :#

For any 'thing' in the world that you can equip or 'be' that changes your abilities, remember what I set auto-attack to when I use/be that thing again. An example, the armor in AB, I always set 2 to Auto, because why not. I have to reset it each time I use it.

In that case, maybe not a huge deal, but an example of where it's a hideous pain: gliding abilities in Bloodstone Fen. Every time I drop gliding to lose altitude quick and open my glider again, I have to reset 1 as my auto.

Thanks! Good trip down memory lane!

Found and watched this old WP video that covers everything everyone above is saying pretty well.

I’ll look at wooden, now that I know it was about 3 years ago. Thanks for the reminder on the partial lines, we used to no use the last one in a lot of cases, and grabbed 1 or 2 from other lines, and could use a little from each. Totally makes sense thinking about the specializations.

I knew it was different, just couldn’t remember how. Thanks.

My work here is done.

I remember the old trait system, but I don't remember exactly why it was changed to what we have today. And, maybe it happened in a few steps? I've been trying to find something on YouTube that maybe discusses the new system and why it happened, but I can't seem to find anything.

I was just thinking about it today and was curious. No nefarious purpose beyond a trip down memory lane. :)

It's a pretty cool idea, but... uh... is there something we should know? :anguished:

I've seen a few people fire up a giant chair with some green in it, kinda undead-ish, just, wherever they like, and they are sitting in it.

What is that? Is that something I can get?

Everyone pretty much ignores me, but because of the game design, and can hang out with everyone and fight and still feel like part of the team. :)


>! Body is 10 characters too short.

Well don't be mad, but I tried to report one of them as spam, thinking it would delete the mail in addition to the report, but then I realized it worked that way in another game. :/

Thank you for the heads up! I'm in the same situation, completed first week, but thankfully haven't detached the items yet. You are a rock star. :)

> In City of Heroes, there was the $target command where if you typed out something using $target with a player or npc targeted, it would replace $target with the name of that player or NPC. So if you type "Hello, $target" with Zojja targetted, your character would say "Hello, Zojja"

Well, we have '@' that works with some of the built in commands, like '/wave @'. They don't work in /em though, I don't think. And I'm almost positive not in any other way in chat. Though, it would be neat.

My few ideas fall more into a 'new features out of old things' type category, so not appropriate for here. One thing I can think of is to adjust what default values are selected when you go to list things on the TP. Like if someone has a buy list below the minimum value, it should default to the lowest sell offer, or minimum listing price if that is absent. Things like that.

Oh, I would like the "Adjust Camera to Character Height" setting to honor sitting in chairs 'and' any emote that puts you on the ground (/sit, /sleep, /kneel, etc).

ArenaNet wants to keep _this_ hidden from you. :lol:

That I didn't stick with music and went with accounting, then programming, then nothing.

Since there are now things like the Yoko Ono incursion now, and in Queensdale there are the bandits, it would be nice to have those be Elites, and they probably should have been demoted to that instead of veterans to begin with. The train still would have dispersed if they were elites, and they'd be fun to try with some lowbies. :)

What's ironic is I'm one that doesn't particularly care for SAB, but these avatars are great. Thank the maker of things. :)

It's pretty fun, I was looking for it's return just to do it as well. I still haven't figured out how to actually do it right though. I jump in the water and get them that way. :3

I succeed at it once, tried maybe 3 times total. It would succeed a lot more if more people would come do it on a fairly regular basis, and the only way to make that happen is to provide more loot. Even if it was just a bunch of big, shiny boxes to open and melt, like AB or some of the other metas, you might get more people to show up.

When it worked, it was a lot of fun. As you said, there just isn't a lot of reason for people to repeat it.

I posted something similar in another thread.

It would seem like the easiest thing would be to just have "adjust camera to character height" adjust to near the ground when you sit in chairs. Additionally, it should work with emotes like /sit, /sleep, /kneel.

Patch 3/27

The sharks are too much. I get sharks during races trying to knock you off. But one of the great things about the zone was all the water to ride around on your Stingray. I was trying to go from the Hero board past IG around the corner to the heart, and it was shark...shark...shark...shark. Yet, I can not mount on my stringray and swim with no issues. That's funny. Not liking the flying sharks outside of races at all. Like the rain, that seems new (don't recall it raining quite like that before).

> FINALLLYYY. Now I need a portable chair.

This has always been an issue. Using emotes like /sit and /sleep. And now, we need this for chairs too.

1. We need a separate 'adjust camera to character height' for emotes that put us on the ground and sitting in chairs.

2. We need a separate set of 'vertical position near/far' settings.

Or, perhaps what would solve it is one vertical scrollbar for /sit type emotes and sitting that drops the camera all the way to the floor, as low as possible, so you can do the max zoom in (without first person) and still see your entire character, or not. Have it cover an entire set of ranges that would even cover needing a separate 'adjust to height' just for sitting. That way, we could set the camera really low for sitting in a chair or /sleep, as we see fit.

As it is now, you can't do an extreme close up of your character sitting in a chair, /sleeping, etc.
