Amaranthe.3578

Considering there are tons and tons of clipping issues with charr/asura since launch you can forget about it being fixed.

The helm doesnt look on asura like it does in the preview

this video demonstrates it perfectly : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-N8TKqq5sM

I know a-nets policy to bug fixing is that on an indie company that shrugs off anything thats not game break and/or too much work but maybe you can take a minute to fix it? ;(

Would be cool if it granted a 3rd dodge like daredevil. Since Mirage is based around dodges too.

The 2nd thing I noticed is that I could play sloppy as all hell and still kill everyone that I engaged 1v1, with no real counter builds out there that the Condi Mirage couldn't handle or deal with.

Guards and Holos kill mirages in 1v1 all day long. Also you cant really kill a weaver/tempest support(though he shouldnt be able to kill you either)

I read half of your post and I stopped when the BS levels got too high, GL killing anyone on Mirage with just pressing random buttons...time your evade wrong and youre squashed.

I just cant comprehend these guys, the moment something goes wrong they start blowing up like a junkie in withdrawal.

It doesnt bother me none but I do kinda feel sorry for these people since all they are doing is bringing down an early stroke /heart attack on themselves.

Why do people who cant handle the simple emotions that come with competition choose to compete? o.o"

Again your display your hilarious ignorance.

First of all,nobody is talking about SLIGHTLY cheaper....you can get cards 25% cheaper than in-game.

No,a sales site wouldn't make a lot of money from ads.(news sites do because they attract lots of views)

The site you linked has no ads xD I rest my case.

As a gold player guards are the most common class I see

> I haven't really played WoW (just the trial and I didn't like it) so I can't say too much about their cash shop. Some time ago a player told me there was very little to get in the cash shop other than services like name changes and server transfers etc. And yes a couple of mounts that you don't really need because there are a lot of mounts in the game. Maybe they've expanded the cosmetics by now, I honestly couldn't tell you.

>

> But this is why I make a distinction between what I see as basic QoL things like inventory space and cosmetics. A lot of MMOs with subs that I am aware of do have a cash shop these days on top of their subs, mostly geared towards cosmetics. I cannot blame ArenaNet therefore to get on that same boat and well their outfit prices are overpriced by default but they are certainly reasonable within the context of other cash shops.

>

> The issue I have is when a game creates a need for certain items that are available only in the cash shop. Even when you can earn them in game like here, it takes a long time so it really just pushes towards spending. My view is that core elements like inventory and bank space should be available in a game and not exclusive to a cash shop when I pay for the game.

>

> So the way I see it is that most of the cash shop items here I don't really have an argument with except the general argument that goes for all games that they are overpriced. But that's a personal choice as long as the game offers a fair amount of alternatives. I believe GW2 does. However, I do have a problem with having to get extra inventory slots for bags and bank tabs via the gem store only. You could argue that you can get them in game by getting gold and trading them for gems and that's true in theory. However, the amount of time it takes to get these together for the amount you'd need particularly when you play multiple characters is prohibitive for me. The added reason why I find it unreasonable also is because GW2 definitely throws tons of loot at you making sure that your bags get filled quickly, therefore creating an annoyance that's expensive in money or time to fill out so that you don't get in trouble just doing one meta event with your bags filling up entirely. And that's after buying a few more bag slots for my main.

>

> In this discussion I simple have a hard time understanding how some people defend gem store spending and prices while using the argument that there is no sub. I think there are a few people who cannot distinguish between not understanding something and judging something. I did state on multiple occasions that it's fine and I have no problems with them seeing it that way, but it just doesn't make a lot of sense to me. And that should also be ok.

>

> And I can do basic math, so when I calculate what I would like to have for all my characters (I have 7) to make the game enjoyable for me with such basic elements, I'm talking about spending about 500 Euros on gems just for that. Now just that alone buys me a sub for 4 years where I wouldn't have to worry about these items because they are included in the game already. So to me, considering that I only play this game a few months at a time with big breaks in between, this amounts to a worse deal than when I would pay a sub in another game. Again, I'm not even talking about cosmetics at all.

>

> So that's my view and my logic for finding these items too expensive. That doesn't mean my view works for everyone but I think it also explains I do not understand the view that a sub is so terribly expensive and prohibitive, especially when people do spend a lot of money in the cash shop. Not everybody does of course, so that was my misinterpretation and I accepted that in spite of the name calling. The truth is though that MMOs make a lot more money with cash shops than with subs. I don't think this is something new or controversial I'm saying. So yeah, clearly players overall drop a lot more cash on a game like this and that's why sub games started doing it too.

>

> I just don't think it was a smart move of the overall player groups in MMOs to start complaining about subs and demanding a different business model. Of course there are people who benefit from it because they are not spending all that cash on it and are perfectly happy with the limitations that are there. That's cool for them, but maybe because I've played MMOs for many years I've got a certain standard of things I'd like to have in games and since GW2 monetizes a part of that, I have to choose between paying more than a sub would cost me or accepting to play only one or two characters. To me that's not a nice choice.

I totally agree on the inventory/bank space...making it a gem thing is rather disgusting.

But in the long run if your really care about it and buy the extra slots on sale it should end costing you less than a sub.

Sorry to say but you got to be extremely naive and understand nothing of business to think that a retailer will lower prices significantly because he makes the rest from ads.

Turn your adblock off and search for a retailer with a site thats blasted with ads....

I totally agree,I would rather pay a set amount per month and have the full game available for me in almost any MMO.

The way GW2 works(an MMO with virtually zero gear progression where gold is the ultimate currency) I think the current model fits much better.

Besides, companies are so greedy now that even games with a sub fee have a cash-store.

While I totally agree and I am too paranoid to buy anywhere else some of these sites offer price 25-30% cheaper than in game which is rather enticing.

It makes zero sense for a-net to sell gems cheaper than in-game since thats the best place for them to sell it.

What I meant is that the fact that thete are vendors(that dont steal) that sell gems cheaper than the game itself is stupid.

Doesnt seem that way

a person here linked a sitet that sells 2000 gems for 20$

Which is 25% cheaper
