hash.8462

Message within the game from Anet:

**"Due to a serious virus problem we lost all game codes, in a few hours the game will get a rollback of approximately 8.5years as the only non corrupted backup available is from open beta." "Old build available, your client will be restarted in 2 hours."**

;)

That day, every character with an equipped infusion will have the effect turned off, every character with no infusion equipped will have a random infusion effect on them; mobs and mini will also have a random infusion effect.

PS: I just want the commando outfit on sale

I have perma quickness/protection/25xmight/25xvulnerability and a 240 radius symbol that hit 5 targets and decent healing, is hard to be killed;

at golem damage is around 10k with only self boons and I'm fine with it,

when fighting a boss, adds generally melt around me, personally I like hammer on guardian.

Not a party build of course, my dps don't rise much in party.

Main weapon of one of my Guardians and I find it fun and useful (Zeal/Honor/Firebrand, solo PvE) .

The hammer is not a dps weapon, there is no point in complaining about it; even if tweaked it will never supplant the greatsword and there is no need of 2 weapons with the same role.

Can we have this one? I am not joking =)

Maybe with wings (skin for the skyscale) and mini combo.

Steve Burglar chests?

Sure, why not :)

Can we have Steve running around pve and wvw maps on 1st april? :p

I'm for champion partols in those areas, 15 min spawn time and with the skills of Captain Rotbeard.

You should be able to solo them or avoid them, but afk farmers with pets will get one shooted by his aoe skill :p

What if Chrono get the same tratment of Scrouge shades?

0 illusion -> Shatter aroud you

1-3 illusions -> Shatter only Illusions

Nothing need to be done on both of them.

1- Speed up guardian hammer would means reduce his damage or mess up his symbol, if they do it nearly all players will whine (remember never fix something that is not broken), if you want to have a faster hammer just build up a quickness firebrand.

2- Compared to many others ranged weapons Revenant hammer damage/speed is high, also you cannot compare melee weapons with ranged ones (by the way, guardian hammer AA is very slow).

I think they should at least swap Empowered Illusions with Dazzling, buy I suppose the heavy nerf was intentional.

Just to say... GS don't only lose a trait, but also:

- Cripple on all (2-5) attacks;

- about 30% damage on skill 2 but CD is reduced by 40% (1vs1 the additional bounces of Bountiful Blades are only useful for vulnerability and might, as the last hit damage will be only 10% of the 1st hit: 100->self->70->self->40->self->10);

- at least 30% damage on skill 4, we don't only lose a trait but the initial projectile is no longer a boomerang (will hit only once).

As I see it, CoE could be an excellent Guild Hall :p

I suspect the first one is the famous "cafeteria" :) .

By a wish granted by a djinn, maybe? (just an idea)

_"The Scourge of Vabbi

The earliest known mention of Joko with a date is in 757 AE, when he constructed the Bone Palace in the Desolation, a sulfurous wasteland where only demons and the undead could survive, although he had discovered a way for the living to enter this area unschathed. At some point he had seemingly discovered forbidden scriptures of the fallen god Abaddon and eventually sealed them in coffers which were hidden deep within the Vehjin Mines. However, scriptures found in at least one of the coffers turned out to be instructions to find a powerful wish-granting djinn in the Forum Highlands. **Whether Joko ever approached the djinn, who would only grant a wish once every hundred years, and what he may have asked for if he did, remains unknown.**"_

I want a winged monkey :)

Well, since dragons eat magic, both Zhaitan or any one of his many champion dragons could have simply eaten Joko consuming his magic exactly as Aurene did.

Oversized and floating shoulder armour is the biggest issue in my opinion.

I have nothing agaist Braham...

apart the numerous times when he pushes around enemies with his shield after I have pulled them to me... when this happens I really want to kick out him from the party.

Removing it fixed the problem

TY

The same of every year...

demolisher stats, since we are good at demolishing toys ;)

> I put solutions in my rng post but the one I wouldnlike to see is get a special token you can trade for each of the 4 tokens . And then once you get 30 or something you can buy the visage . Heck even 50-60 since you can buy on tp fairly low (but prices would probably rise a bit) cost. And then get it obtained that way as well. I dunno. Sometimes I question the decision making process . Or what the logic is . I'm no expert in the field but would like it explained .

I'm also for tokens...

When you open the chest you get a token, 100 for each helm would be better than now.

Maybe... or same as now but Illusionary Reversion replaced by Illusionary Persona (the old trait that allow self shatter)...

I'm ok even if the trait reduce the max clones to 2, they can also reduce or remove the additional damage to a slowed enemy...

The biggest problem is not be able to use at all shatter skills without clones (well, that and the shatter damage in melee).

Shield

I would like something like this:

Shroud now only empower your weapon (LF don't block anymore damage done to you), 5% LF drain but at the same time you can continue to gain it from skills/deaths:

- when active Dagger/axe/scepter #1,2,3 don't change but inherit shroud traits, and #4,5 become are the same from the core shroud

- when active Staff inherit skills from reaper (the old weaker version)

- Shield #4 is a parry: pulse stability, add a 5% LF drain and redirect all damage to LF for a few seconds (channeled skill, you can move, can't be healed),

- Shield #4 when "shroud" is active get a cumulative LF drain (5 from "shroud" + 5 from the skill), the skill works the same but also get #4 core shroud effect and traits

- Shield #5 create a moving gravity well like the portals of Legendary Stavemaster Adryn

- Shield #5 when "shroud" is active is the same but also get #5 core shroud effect and traits (centered on the well)

- Shadow skills and traits to help mobility and disengage... including a blink, creation of shadow clones, and a fade skill to gain immunuity to damage

Well, maybe this is too much :p

I will never understand why ANET never uses half measures, if something is too strong then reduce it, why remove it completely?

I'm pretty sure that 5% out of shroud and 1% in shroud wont give "too much survivability", and it would be better than nothing at all.

I would be happy to have at least the life steal effect from food in shroud... or this also give too much survivability?
