It might prevent the other comedians in the game from seeing your totally hilarious and tasteful rape jokes but it also prevents the 6 year old that like to hit chickens with a sword from seeing the same. I'm talking about the language filter between clients. You can't see chat from other clients that have their languages set to other languages than your own. Portugese, Spanish, German, and so on. EDIT: gently caress, beaten.

Ah, I was a little confused, the profanity filter was always on by default for me. Everyone I see it I remember that I have to turn it off, then after looking for the option for two or three minutes I decide out isn't worth it and get back to playing.

Dinictus posted:I hate how, because of the megaservers, Anet decided to put in a chat filter, on by default, with many people absolutely unaware of this client-language filter being a thing. It sucks but it is the lesser of two evils. The way that people were behaving before the filter was even more toxic for the community. I don't blame Anet. I blame the assholes that forced Anet to make a tough decision like this. Maybe there are better solutions out there, but off the top of my head I cannot think of any that are satisfactory. They could have been more clear to users in game about how it functions though.

Give me your feedback goons Wardrobe is cool. Mega Servers are cool. Trait system is the dumbest and stupidest thing they could have done, the things you need to do for some traits does not line up with game progression(adept trait for 100% a level 70-80 zone for example), you have a huge dead zones in leveling now as well, I'm seriously expecting a flood of level 80 pubs with no traits with the way you unlock them. And wow those minis are super cute but that price.

You're flatout wrong though, it's actually a pretty good system and improved on what existed before. There is obviously a problem with some of the unlock methods, being way out of level or too difficult, and those can and should be adjusted. But to call the new system "the dumbest and stupidest thing they could have done" is loving idiotic!

Also the traits are pretty cheap to buy so you don't actually have to muck with that nonsense if you don't want to.

OK, next shot at an spvp lock down build: Warrior, mace/mace + hammer, healing signet, signet of rage, SIO/zerker stance /balanced stance, 0/0/6/2/6, str runes, cavalier amulet, intelligence and battle sigil on both weapon sets. Emphasis on the f1 skills, but I wonder if I can generate enough adrenaline to keep someone close to permastunned.

So you agree the current unlock system is dumb and should be changed yet feel its not a dumb system. I mean ok, the trait reset system is nice, but that's about it. Keep in mind I'm looking at it from a pubbie's perspective, the ones who supposedly went 14/14/14/14/14 with this system.

Parts of a system can be dumb or a mistake and be fixable, without an entire system being "the dumbest and stupidest thing they could have done". You're being ridiculously hyperbolic and dumb.

Stop being deliberately dense. He's clearly saying that the structure of the system itself is fine, but they just need to tweak some of the requirements to make sure the unlocks better match with leveling flow.

The problem I have with the new trait system is the dead levels. That kinda goes back to my issue with the game having 80 levels when it doesn't really need them, though. Overall it seems mostly cosmetic & streamlined aside from the free-anywhere respec addition.

To be fair, Alteisien was also being excessively melodramatic but you are right. I think most of us agree that the system's foundation is fine, but I also feel that they didn't do a good enough job with the progression. That can be fixed, but I don't know if they are actually going to bother fixing it because they know we can just buy the traits instead. That sucks though because buying them is really boring.

If the game is dead, move on and quit telling the people in a very active thread or in a very not-dead game otherwise imo. This reminded me of one of the things I hate about megaservers: I had to listen to crybaby pubbies droning on about how wardrobe changes ruined the game because "anet is charging for transmute charges but got rid of transmute stones" by a guy with 10 characters who wanted to change his look every 10 levels on each. Another guy whining about how the game is blob wars/hugging wars and needs GvG/PvP and the only reason megaservers exist is because the game is nearly dead. You know what I want in the next feature patch? I want Arenanet to implement some server tool that detects all of these crybabies and automatically sorts them together into their own overflow so they can sit around and circle jerk over how dead this game is that they can't stop playing in order to tell everyone else it is dead because Arenanet won't add the changes they personally want, as if this is owed to them and only them. This must be the real reason the game is called Guild WARS because they have the same mentality as the warrior forum (and previously the monks of GW1) and they want every-loving-thing handed to them or Arenanet are nazis! Seriously it's one thing to have some complaints but don't sit around trying to convince everyone else they need to quit the game because the devs don't care anymore and that every update they put out is making the game worse. As much as I can joke about how awwwwwwwwful Scarlet was, the sheer amount of living story updates we got was honestly very impressive and frankly I cannot wait for season 2.

I just don't think the progression is that good, before you could start messing with traits as early as level 15, every 5 levels you got bitchin new passive to play with then pick what passive what you want from this easy to follow list. A big complaint levied against GW2 is that it doesn't have a lot in the way of skills, its not like every other MMO which has like 20, but that's because a bunch of the poo poo your characters is locked behind traits which I think is a great system, the update to me took what wasn't broken and fixed it, now you can't mess with anything till level 30 and it makes leveling certain classes a bit of a chore as class defining traits will take much longer to get. And sorry butts, a lot of people's names don't match up to their forum names. Thanks for the image, gave me a good laugh.

Here are the important points I want to make. 1) I've had the baby hippo since last summer. And it is in fact the best. 2) The trait unlock system is a fun idea. The implementation of it is awful. Even just the 5 that old characters have to unlock is bad. Three are tied to events that don't have a specific timer, one of them requires you to fail the event that spawns and then do the next one. So you sit around waiting for an event, which can be literally hours, then when it pops up you have to beg people to let it fail. That's just dumb. For new players it is much much worse. You know what an engineer has to do to get the huge quality of life passive speed boost trait? 100% frostgorge sound. Yeah, so much for speedy leveling. What I used to be able to pick at level 30 is now something I won't get until after I've maxed out. Stupid. And the cost is beyond prohibitive. Over 40 gold and 360 skill points to buy what current players get for free. What idiot is running the economy for this game? Put the cost on the new players who don't have the gold or skill points to pay for it? Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. When I hit level 80 the first time I had to save for my grandmaster manual, which was 2 frikkin gold. The bad part is Arenanet hates admitting they implemented things badly (source: the living story, wvw ppt, spvp for the first year and a half, etc etc) so this probably isn't changing soon and is going to cost the game a lot of potential new players. So dumb. Okay that turned into a bit of a rant... 3) Megaservers are awesome. 4) The wardrobe is all of my wildest dreams come true. 5) Except for respeccing anywhere for free, which is also all of my wildest dreams come true. 6) The changes to pvp are amazing. I like it again. Especially teaming with goons.
