Maria Murtor.7253 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I guess, if a Update brought the invisible Footwear to the game today, this is how it would be (see also the Living Story Armor Pieces for achievements). Tomorow comes a update for underwater combat. What better time could there be for adjust the drop rate for Invisible Footwear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayakaru.6583 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I just love the thought that anet even considered this was a good idea. Its almost like “we’re implementing the long awaited and requested feature; Build Saving. To get it, buy it from the gem store for thousands of gold, or farm this ultra specific creature, once a day, for 0.0004% to get it, but that chance is only true on a day it rains in Haarlem, and exactly 24 people are celebrating their birthday in your province or region. If these criteria are not met, the drop chance will be 0.0000000000038%” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liewec.2896 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 the ability to take your shoes off can be yours for the mere price of three thousand two hundred and twenty five gold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANet’s answer is invisible boots you can’t craft and with an abysmal drop rate so that it’s not something you can readily get. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > You can readily get slippers from TP :wink: : > > > > > > > > https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Invisible_Slippers > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 1) there’s all of 5 on the trading post.

Look I get that you want to "win" here so yeah sure, you're right, it's a great idea! Anyone who wants the ability to turn off their shoes should definitely either farm the 9000 or so gold required in game or else spend 5-6 hundred bucks on the lack of skins required. It's practical and sensible! > > > > You started out speaking for others circumstances and so I responded in kind. I never said it was a, "great idea." I didn't actually, I was speaking for myself. Edit: for the sake of clarity, I mean I personally don't think it's practical or realistic to expect people to pay 180 bucks for this or any other skin. Nor do I believe its OK to dismiss people's concerns because you can use real money to buy things in the game. I do support people's right to spend their money however they wish. > 180 is not 600. Even still 180, or 600, is more practical for some than 10 might be for others. There are three skins, one for each weight, the cheapest is 180, 3 x 180 (minimum) is between 500 and 600, maybe more.

Ardid.7203 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 The fact that Helmet and Gloves already ARE toggles makes this a basic function. Would you like to have the Helmet toggle removed and replaced with a very "prestigious" invisible skin you have to obtain through abysmal RNG? Except for the timing, this is exactly the same.

Zephyr.5382 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Yeah...I don't know how anyone can defend Anet's decision on this as being rational. The ones who caved and made the purchase will try to rationalize it, though.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maria Murtor.7253 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Hopes crushed again with todays update. It seems two threads on the front page and 2 years of nagging is not enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
