I guess you just need to adapt to it ;)

Time will tell!

edit: oh god yes :love: which is the harder path?

There will be new items on the store every week as for halloween.

Don't panic ( yet ).

So it would have been bad to say that i don't care since i don't raid and i don't even feel sorry for you.

Instead of pretending you should be grateful for this patch ( wheather you are upset for the missing fix you were hoping for, though they already claimed the sense of this 12/12 patch ).

It was meant as a balance for condi burst.

@"Irenio CalmonHuang.2048" Thank you for the dedicated thread. Loving hem.

Youngblood II you have the best avatar so far.

Happy wintersday!

I did read really fast the patch notes but it seems really good.

The springer is really cool.

Also the cold breath effect is nice.

Also really happy that you continue to mantain the base models instead of put different beasts on our mounts.

Thank \o

I forget to remove teleport on target, and instead i add them.

But i laughed so much at 5 staff skill.

Thank you.

So let's do a simple recap

> https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Surge_of_the_Mists - pretty much rushes you forward

Ahahahaha

> https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Deathstrike - requires target

Target required

> https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Unrelenting_Assault - requires target but is insanely good for chasing

Target required

> https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Impossible_Odds - super speed and quickness

Not used to roam or simply moving.

Shiro legend required.

Does not apply swiftness.

> https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Riposting_Shadows - can be used as a movement skill (The backwards evade transverses 600 units)

Are you serious?

Should we make a 180 degrees macro + skill?

Let just the mesmers exploit with staff 2 skill.

> https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Unyielding_Anguish - 600 range leap

30 energy for a 600 leap which does not give swiftness and could put you in combat because of the huge persistent aoe

> https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Inspiring_Reinforcement + https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Phase_Smash + https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Drop_the_Hammer = swiftness

This one is probably a joke

So, definitely.

Renegade has NO way to get swiftness and has no way to move forward unless he's following sombody who wants to kill ( or a critter is there ).

They should definitely do something about then!

I mean, instead of fixing it somehow else, a way to modify the UI would be even better.

> @"Jack Skywalker.5674" said:

The problem is that revenant ( not renegade ) has no options in order to get

* flat 25% movement speed ( like passive traits or sigils, as every other class has ).

* Movement skills ( Leaps, teleports to target, teleports with no target requirement, Swiftness, etc ). Herald is not core, and it's only a permanent swiftness.

* Swiftness ( no traits nor skills, except [Rapid Flow](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Rapid_Flow "Rapid Flow") ).

It does absolutely need a rework in terms of mobility.

I did, and i supposed he was refered to the whole part as i said in my previous post ( i suggest that you read the whole conversation before reply ).

And a 1xT6 mat in a scenario which requires other items which are accountbound is not a sink ( the account bound ones are definitely better sinks ).

They have to push you to buy the sub.

I am not sure that it will work, and also i'd prefer to be able to buy dyes from the TP when a new tier comes.

Currently, this is ( to me ) the best system.

Those who want to spend real cash are allowed, and those who want don't.

GW2 has just to set some limits per accounts, depends the age of the owner.

The Gamble is not illegal, but there's an issue if minors are related.

To me a sub would be something like

10 € per month

1. +15% Karma/Golds/MagicFind/Currencies.

2. 800 Gems.

3. Special pass with Crafting station, MF, Bank, TP, etc... ( 30days duration. you will get one new every time the subscription is renewed ).

4. Discounts on GEMSTORE ( and on high tier gems purcases ).

I do have a better idea.

Since we do have 1 or 2 currencies per map, what about if they were shown in the inventory ( near golds ) depends the map?

In The Silverwastes we will have

1. Golds

2. Banding Keys

3. Bandit Crests

In Dry Top we will have

1. Golds

2. Zephyrite Keys

3. Geodes

In PoF we will have

1. Golds

2. Trader's Keys

3. Trader's Contracts

In Hot we will have

1. Golds

2. One between Crowbars/Exalted key/Vial of Chak Acid/Machete, depends the map

3. One between Airship Parts/ Aurilium / Ley Line Crystals, depends the map ( while in DS, we will just see Golds and Machetes ).

What do you think?

This could be the idea.

Zerk is slightly better than marauder, and medium armor class with high hp pool is still missing.

I heard you can pay gems for each lesson, but you can't chose which course to take part.

Only random courses.

Accounts with disalbed features depends the age of the owner could be a possibility.

You can think that removing rng and stuff like BLC, Mount Contracts and so on would be a nice thing, but remember that gw2 is going forward because of those who buy those things. And, personally, i am quite scared about the alternatives when there won't be any BLC at all.

So 6 fractals in less than 1 hour?

Or do cm 99 and cm 100 count as the daily t4 fractals?

I say definitely not.

If a game is boring, you tend to drop it unless you are addicted ( like those who continue to play a mmo just because of the guild, or because they don't want to start another one because they already invested many hours on the current one ).

You won't definitely come back because of more players, or because a friend of you started to play.

You will definitely return in order to claim the gems, and maybe after a while you will drop the game for the same reasons.

Just to be clear, low playerbase could be an issue expecially in mmos, but if players drop gw2 they definitely don't do this because of the playerbase, because due to the game's structure ( maps cap, content for solo, 5players or 10 players, randomqueue for many modalities, lfg system which allows you to find a group and share content, guilds, etc... ).

More players could bring different queues in SPvP, indeed ( we could have a soloq, a mixed one and a 5v5 premade only ).

About WvW it's ANET fault for speculating on server transfers instead of merging servers and reduce the number of servers for WvW.

Talking about me, when i had enough of gw2 i just logged in to unlock LS, without playing it.

I was bored enough not to do even the daily login.

That's why, though i think that they should make a better use of the marketing, i think asking for free gems for everybody would be more like a scam ( it would be only a profit for existent players ) than everything.

But, giving 2k gems for free for those who purchase the bundle ( hot + pof ) could be a good idea for starters ( or else a starter pack with infinite tools and something else, like the ones in gemstore ).
