Balsa.3951

im certain to we Trap Kralkatorik inside a Crystal or something, Modremoth was killed in a Dream. So it seems we all beat Dragons with there own game. Zaithan was killed by bored to death btw

Maybe a Norn female could be good for u, there bodies are stronger in general some body types are masculine and the voices are some what lower but not super low.

> Hello,

> This is a heartfelt request for a character alteration. I am a transgender, non-binary player. Me and my family all have game versions of ourselves that we play together, but I've found it difficult to play mine. I've considered switching my character's 'gender' in the game to better represent my appearance (I even bought the kit to change up my character), but when I came to voice options I was distressed and at a loss. In real life I have a more 'masculine' body, but certainly not a lower voice (us non-binary people come in endless variations). Either I'm uncomfortable with my character's appearance, or I'm jarred by the voice. My request then, as you might infer, is to have the option of picking any of the human voices (and for the other races for other players?) with any of the 'gender'/body types. It's terrible dealing with gender dysphoria in real life. It would be really nice if I could have a character in the game that didn't cause the same feelings. This isn't asking for any additional content, simply the ability of choose from the voices regardless of my characters appearance.

Not for certain someone went this map and changed it can also be a general rework of code who had side effects on the flames.

Happen before so those kind of braziers could also be a sign that nobody looked

hmmm not sure for mount already so crowded in those small lakes how about some swim devices ? Could be bound to novelties

never had trouble with naming a char the trick is be creative and don’t try name ur character shadowkiller or Swordmaster :)

Just try be different and there are thousands of never used names out there

The true punishment for defending is now that it’s not rewarding at all. U barely get anything for defending. It’s almost u hurt ur self when u defend since u could just let enemies take the tower so u can recap it after that

I’m confused was not stated that a spear ability will be implemented to dismount people ? I talked about the skill to do that instead of press 1 on a longbow once and dismount everyone

First I m a big fan of nude ppl but in pvp u loose stats.

These days I see a lot player running without chest Armor and when u tell them that they loose base armor they all reply with LOL stats are from the Amulet only.

It even went to I bet 20 G with someone waited him google before he sudden went offline :)

So here quote from the Wiki

“Players need to equip chest, legs and foot armor to achieve the base armor value, but hands, shoulders and head may be ignored.”

So please don’t play naked in ranked if u want challenge urself do it in UN ranked

Thank u very much.

Ps u can test it urself open pvp panel look ur stats for armor than take chest on and off see the stats lost and now try the same with gloves no stats lost. Just that u don’t think ur real armor is shown in the pvp panel when u be in the lobby.

Do u us invisible bags for the unidentified gear ? I do this makes me collect a lot than open them when I feel I have time.

Ps

By capped out on bags u mean u have 32 er bag slots ? That’s pretty impressive

Would it be ever a chalange with Rox and. Braham around if they constant Rezz and do a lot of dmg ?

All anet maybe can do is the illusion of they helping like Braham did at Saandsweep isles when shield The pups. The power level of the Commander is just so great that NPCs looking weak in compare..

If they not standing back they also could become nothing more than visual clutter.

U can turn off auto loot ... but I highly recommend u loot and get bigger bags instead

I don’t think bts need restrictions in. Wvw compare to pve. Most ppl know also what game type they want join Zerg roam or defending. There will be not many who swap builds often no matter how easy it is after we have that ability.

It’s more for u come to wvw sees map is empty than roam sees commander goes Zerg mode or just simple joint from pve and now switch gear

U be heard don’t worry , also I’m happy it seems I be heard as well and anet plan on implementing something not so far from my suggestion.

Devs want to add rewards for attacking defended objectives instead of win trading, rewards for attacking a defended keep should be better than rewards for an empty keep, rewards should scale with structure level, still in paper design phase and devs hope to start prototyping soon

If you want to run around in exotics purchased with the excess badges of honor wvwers have then do so. It's up to you but of course Arenanet would never add such hardcore mechanics to a casual game. Players wouldn't even leave spawn in this game if such a thing existed. Goes to show that all the real pvp goes on in other games.

thats anyway to far away from topic.

thats exactly why i wrote that by holding keeps a treasure chest or something else will spawn periodic. The idea is to make holding and attacking harder to archive objectives more rewarding

A BRAND NEW player interested in the complete game would have to purchase HOT/POF/LS2,3,4,5 AND the new expansion. That's quite a lot.

My guess is that the lvl's 400-500 will be used for foods only, no crafting component and maybe give us a few more options like slapping an XP modifer on there, make more custom food so to say. Or downright powercreep the food we already have by adding new better ones. But based on how the system works today we'd simply get a slew of "lvl 100" foods that give 20% increased stats of the previous tier, namely today's lvl 80 ones.

This what u wrote and maybe very cosmetic like food effects which change ur looks, JC might get the ability for infusions and bling bling effects with it.

The ability to dye weapons..... who knows it could be something anet could get creative with

So how u got all those new mounts and mount skills ? Plus why demand so hard it’s already said no expansion in the works now.. u just got anets roadmap and they said what’s going to happen next. Maybe if u can send anet a few million dollar they can start building one for u.

Point is they just wasted a lot resources on never happened projects and they didn’t plan on an x pact. So even if they start now it’s still 2 years later till u see something completely done.

The build templates can build on this Container system, which places all your gear items into a totally different sub-menu and storage array. The main prerequisite would be retooling the Hero panel UI to decouple from direct references to gear, and have them point to Template containers instead. The container then gets unpacked into the UI, and you manipulate them from there... either adding or removing gear like other menus. You pick which Templates are your active one, and it loads the corresponding gear container for that build. However, a short fall of this is needing separate sets of gear for each slot.

Anet seems to be willing to stop inventory wars so I guess we get option C aka The Armory. All ur weapons land into the armory
