Opal.9324

I would love to see this, or at least some skins like the dreadnought raptor for the other mounts. Sure would be nice to not look ridiculous whenever I need to get somewhere.

Why not both?

As someone who also has some trouble with expressing emotions at times, I never really minded the way he talks. Trahearne wasn't perfect, but he gets way more hate than he deserves.

All those amazing players you meet have probably been playing and improving their skills for a long time. Of course, if someone just keeps telling themself "I'm unskilled because that's just who I am", they will probably never get better.

> That's not to say that every unskilled player fits into one of these categories, some just don't care about how well they do, but the gap between skilled and unskilled in GW2 is such that even a slightly less skilled player can NEVER EVER beat someone better than them. That's poor design.

I have a real life (well, HAD before a certain pandemic showed up), and I like to think I'm at least somewhat decent. I'm also not very "twitchy" most of the time, but there are builds out there that don't require that, and not being twitchy doesn't necessarily make you unskilled. But if not skill, what should determine who wins? Pretty much anything that involves 2 or more people competing is going to have skill involved, unless you make it based on something like RNG or who has the most OP cheese build. Neither of those sound like much fun to me.

Maybe the unskilled players should practice until they become skilled? People aren't just born good at things. All those amazing players you meet have probably been playing and improving their skills for a long time. Of course, if someone just keeps telling themself "I'm unskilled because that's just who I am", they will probably never get better.

If they can't make these dyable, I hope that some day they release another necro-y set of wings that is. I wanted to get the skeletal wings, but the green was too bright for me.

They're everything I wanted too. Unfortunately my luck is almost nonexistent when it comes to RNG, and I'm not in a situation where I can afford to blow a bunch of money on keys.

I could have sworn this thread was on the first or second page when I posted on it. What the kitten?

Whenever you are downed, your character goes on a rant about how it's all the younger generations' fault.

Did the OP say what generation they belong to? I must have missed that.

To the OP, I'm gonna have to agree with the people saying that gear is fine as it is now. I often test out new builds in exotics before fully gearing them up in ascended, and the difference isn't even noticeable 99% of the time. I have a character who was hit pretty hard by recent-ish balance changes, and he was bad no matter how good his gear was until I made some more tweaks to his build. Maybe you just need to play around with your build a bit more?

Not sure if I lost anything because I don't really keep track of all the junk I sell. I didn't get anything, so I'm guessing I didn't. Oh well. Hopefully I'll lose some gold next time a rollback happens. :p

"My favorite class has tons of viable builds, so everyone else should just stop complaining."

I'm almost tempted to get the outfit just because of how goofy it looks on charr. It would be a great way to make my terrible joke character even more obnoxious looking. :p The back piece and glider look pretty cool though.

WvW maps are way too small for the mounts' old speed imo. Kind of takes away the point of killing your enemies when they can just keep zooming back over like nothing happened.

I main 2 classes, so I'll just keep doing what I've been doing and play my necro mostly. Might try out scourge just for the kitten of it. I'm really starting to miss my war, though.

> You need to compare it with other professions. It seems to me you just want warrior to be overperforming. See you in eso...except not.

Warrior has been one of my favorite classes since I joined GW2, and now I'm somehow doing better on classes I'm a complete noob at than I am on a class I've played for years. Are you really comparing it with other professions, or do you just want easy kills?

Dang... I was actually starting to enjoy zerging again. Necro has always been one of my favorite classes, but I still hated those red circle blobs. Makes playing a melee build in a zerg extremely unpleasant. And if that new blood magic trait really is aoe, oof.

I'd really like to have a Tengu, but if it's just a tonic I probably won't bother. Not worth giving up character customization.

I hope they at least add a few more armor pieces like that. I love the helm, but finding a look that matches it when it's the only piece that shines like that is a pain.

If it is about some injustice, maybe they should find a way of getting back at those commanders that doesn't inconvenience the entire server. All they are doing is making themselves look like the bad guys.

Well it's also pretty disappointing to be given a game mode, have it for a while/be happy with it, and then have your favorite playstyle taken away. The mount was OP as kitten before the nerf.

> Just destroy the role playing experience altogether. A thief in heavy armor blinking around, a warrior in cloth tanking a boss, an elementalist who puts on heavy armor and needs additional protection with earth skills? Um No thank you.

Depending on what class and build you're playing, you can already tank bosses in cloth or be glassy in heavy armor. Why would armor weight of all things be what kills role playing in a game where you can do things like shoot magic, glow like a lightbulb, turn someone into a bird, ride a dragon, summon zombies, turn invisible, glide around with big glowing wings, and have tiny versions of npcs following you everywhere? If something like that was enough to kill role playing, it would already be long dead.

I'll support this if it means I can get some accessories for my existing tail too. It looks so naked sometimes when I've got armor everywhere else.

I recently decided to give guardian a go again and realized how much I love DH. Got a new look too:

Couldn't get images to work so I had to post links.

I wouldn't mind more underwater content, but only if going underwater doesn't mess up my build anymore or force me to wear a head piece that only has a super limited selection of skins.
