> Well... I adressed this in opening post you know. Most people here don't mind paying for mounts. The only gripe is RNG gate.

I would like just to see if with a

1. **rng** = 320gems

and a

2. **not rng**= 700gems there won't be any complain.

I think many players do want the same price without the RNG gate instead of a trade ( just in order to allow ANET to gain some money ).

Currently is somehow like the spooky mounts ( which was at first OMG only through bundle! ), though slightly different.

ps: And i want to underline that in order to buy a bundle to save gems, many players will probably buy gems with real money ( what ANET probably hope ) instead of buying every single skin for 400 gems ( which will cost 80 gems more per skin. 20% extra ). ANET needs somebody to buy gems for real money, not golds.

And i do understand that it is pretty unfair not to give a choice, but it's optional, and we have no sub, nor pay to win.

God, thanks!

Finally some other player said it.

Fine with Both

* **Recolor** or less aesthetic improvements for 400gems ( 320 if bundle ) is fine.

* 2000 gems for a **real skin** is fine.

* About **RNG** i don't really care, but if they are going to remove it ( or just to allow the players to buy a single skin ) the price should be doubled in order to justify the RNG and the Bundle.

2k gems for something like a detailed skin seems ok to me.

Since they put resources into extras which do not add content, i want that the ones who required them pay the price.

Game is free, and expansions cost 30$ every 2 years.

Every extra could be purchased with golds or real money, and if its not a QoL, its cost should be higher.

It could seem too high 2k gems, but if you compare the model with any spooky mount you will see the work they have done.

The price is fair in relation to recolours ( or with minimum changes ), but ofc if you think a recolour is too expensive in terms of gems, then 2k could also be too much for a real skin.

Btw it's like the spooky bundle.

9600 gems for 30 skins

400 gem for 1 skin

10k gems for all 31 skins.

322 gems per skin.

Spooky bundle was 320 x skin.

Everything is fair.

It is going to be like the griffon mount.

> Omg, 250 golds

And then after 1 week

> 25k griffon mounts completed!

They are called bundles.

It could be unfair, i understand, that's why I will give players a ln alternative.

1600 bundle.

700 single skin.

I dislike instead the account bound drops from blc, while i am fine with bundles.

Ascended shards?

Thanks for the post.

I am going to read it carefully ( all i heard were just rumors and comments, that's why i was not completely able to understand ).

The halloween event itself is fun.

Opening bags could be fun or not, maybe depends the player.

Or the drop.

1% won't do nothing, right, but at least you can

1. incrase your MF and avoid being covered by essences.

2. fix the space issue withou harming those who don't have capped mf yet.

I am at 308% too, but i do also know how easy it is to make MF, so incrasing the cap in a easy way is going to harm those who don't have MF for sure.

Was the vote before knowing the map or after some time ( months ) of play?

> NOTICE: This event is Bugged and will not begin 5 minutes before dawn or dusk, or will not allow a player to trigger to begin event within the dawn or dusk time frame.

Could be this the issue?

> The event begins at dawn and at dusk.

The normal outcome is 1 ecto + 5 ToT.

If you are lucky you can get more ToT bags, or if very lucky Minis or a tattered wing.

People do it mostly for fun, not for rewards ( unless they don't know what kind of rewards does the event give ).

I think the opposite Cerberus.

The difference between 300 and 400/500 could be huge ( it's always a rng thing, but out of X you will get Y+1 instead of Y. The more you play the more it benefits ).

An uppgrade could be ok, i do agree, but it should be a huge gap to fill in order to get an extra +1%.

The last 30 lvls are 30k exp. so 301% could be the amount needed from 0% to 300%.

Just to make an example about how long should it be.

> I think it's worth remembering the Mastery system was introduced with HoT - 3 years after the base game was released. So it was actually designed with the expectation that a lot of people would do exactly what you're doing - get to level 80 and keep playing just the base game, possibly completing everything in it, before even starting on masteries.

Shortly before HoT they split skill points into Hero Points and Spirit Shards, and then you got 1 Spirit Shard per 'level', until HoT came out and people started working on masteries.)

That's ok, but we are talking about **months** of HoT experience needed vs **slightly more than a Week** with PoF.

What i am saying is

> If the exp needed now is like PoF, then buy the expansion whenever you want. But if it's slower, i suggest you to buy it now and start working on masteries.

That's really good to know!

Btw to me was the opposite.

Mastery Points was ok to get, but It was really slow back then ( but at least i had some skins to unlock and HOPE to craft ) to make the exp needed.

> @YoukiNeko.6047 said:

> Keep playing the game with your mine and exploring the world. There is no such thing as wasted exp.

> Once you get HOT or/and POF you can easily level your masteries.

I had the misfortune to lvl up masteries during HoT, and they were everything but not easy to level.

Mastery points could be a little hard to get, indeed, but the farm for experience ( unless they changed something ) is real.

> It's better to keep silent than write an absurd. When did you last time play spvp? It takes ONE minute of waiting in the queue, then you join match. With low playerbase it would take more that 3 minutes. For every class exist counter class. It's not bad balance it's players that wants dominate over everyone in every situation using one particular class. Return to reality. You have to spend some time in spvp before you would rate it.

You made me laugh and for this i thank you.

The low queue is cause everything is mixed ( soloq + duoq together, which is a joke, and stop ).

SPvP is currently farm with less balance than GW2 core and HoT.

But let's give PoF some time ( and i say HoT, not SPvP ).

It's not bad balance

LOL

i would buy at least HoT.

Just because, as Danikat said, you are going to waste a huge amount of exp because of masteries.

not bad 200g from 90g. gonna buy some.

You know, he's a good person if not on the job.
