This clash is between a much older item; Ghastly Grinning Shield and one of the newest ones; Etherbound Pauldrons. I was excited to finally own the shield since it's a retired item basically, you all know the story by now to that. I also tried out the Pauldrons and loved the effect that it gave my character, so I figured I could have them both. ( Technically I can, since this is just a shield and not a back piece I don't need out at all times, but I love it so much, why wouldn't I?? ) Anyway, getting to the point, at certain angles but far too often for me to be able to ignore it, this happens. https://i.gyazo.com/b83044272bcc52336bab8bc5f4b09a01.mp4 You may notice i'm using an overlay to make my graphics look a little darker and crisper, but that has nothing to do with this flicking effect. I've already tested it on and off. It's mostly distracting when my character is idle, during movement ( like running forward somewhere ) it's not as noticeable and it barely happens. This isn't something major but it would be nice if it could be looked into, considering they aren't right on top of each other, I didn't think it would be like this. Any feedback or suggestions would be appreciated. edit: This also doesn't happen when i'm facing my character, looking at them from the front. This only happens as it does in the gif provided.

I've made playlists for a few of my favorite characters from GW2 specifically. Joko and Edrick These are more so from their perspective on different things, or songs that I felt would fit them or their theme. Joko's playlist goes between quiet and loud at times, I wanted it a little atmospheric where it just focuses on the music or theme of the PoF maps themselves, they give me strong Egyptian vibes up until you reach The Desolation, which I have to say Joko's bone palace is one of the most 'metal' things i've ever seen, so there is a nice bit of rock thrown in there as well, tastefully so. Throughout his playlist I wanted it to also feel almost like a stage play because he's so dramatic and I honestly think he'd appreciate theater. Edrick on the other hand, I just wanted as much heavy music as possible and I wanted to portray a feeling of agony or suffering, as well as his disgust with his father and the people that celebrate him over himself. Edrick is a 100% certified edgelord but he's also really poetic ( I can hear it in his voice ) It's a lot more to him than all people can see but no one really pays that much attention, it's always about Oswald around this time of year. His playlist is mostly loud and aggressive and lashes out at you. This is the best brief description I could come up with for this, the rest is up to how you hear it if you do decide to give these a listen n.n If you'd like to talk more about Tyria and music or something, I don't mind adding you on discord as well. I'll give a follow for now! edit: I forgot to mention that I'm an artist and I drew a lot of pics of Edrick, one of them is what I used for his icon haha

What do you mean? Like Heavy armor class can wear Medium or Light? I don't think that should be a specialization at all, but it would be nice if transmutation charges could let us do that to have the appearance of any other armor class. They def need to add whips to the game, I remember while doing one of the dungeons, I think twilight arbor or something..it was the sylvari one, there were enemies able to use whips at us, so yeah I agree. If not Necro, Thief or Warrior. I also think Spears/Tridents should be usable on land too. Seeing Guardian's with fist weapons would be cool, but it would also be nice for warrior or thiefs, I do agree Thief needs Katana, or to have an assassin specialization, and Rangers should've had all guns to begin with. Mesmer/Mace combo is something I never heard of, but right now since they already can use 1 pistol, i'd like them to be able to use them in both hands. It's silly that their phantasm can use both pistols but we can't. As far as Revnant goes, I'd appreciate ANY weapon for them because their selection is severely lacking compared to other classes..as well as their combinations. ( with the current changes of today ) These all sound cool though! Even the people I didn't quote. Sorry it took me a while to say anything, I was getting over an illness. ^^

I think these are cool ideas, like I had mentioned on your post Zacchary, I still think they may call it an Assassin or something in relation to Cantha. You guys really went all out with these ideas, even thinking of move sets or how they could work together and that's awesome, I just really wanted to post about something that's been on my mind for months now, and I figured I had nothing better to do at that time, plus the only way to get any voice heard is to actually say something so that's why I went forth and made this post. I do hope everyone can get a little something they asked for in any upcoming expansion or update.

I think giving Thief GS is the next thing honestly, my only thing about all this is that I feel like they'd call it The Assassin, or make it Samurai-esque, maybe pull lore from Cantha ( referencing gw1's more asian inspired faction ) That's what makes sense to me at least. ^.^ I'd like to add that I 100% predicted Thieves getting Rifle, and no one believed me.. now look where we are. ..I'm gonna be a little distraught though if they do, because I went ahead and made one of my characters into a Ranger since I didn't like the animations for Thief sword play, and I enjoyed that rangers could use GS, but if they came out with GS for Thief, i'm gonna be in a pickle on what to do..

There has possibly been tons of speculation on this already, I searched for what I was looking for in particular and couldn't find it, so I'm making a thread about it now. I don't intend to make this super in-depth with stats and all, just a simple prediction/request thread. I predict necromancer's new weapon being the short bow, because of the necromancers I've seen use bow in Istan. I also think it would be a great addition to long-range/poison or marker play that Necro's are already used to. My WISH is that Mesmer finally get Dual Pistol. Please.. this solo pistol is killing me, it's so unfair that our clones get to be dualists with two pistols and yet we only get to use one. Please Anet give us dual pistol mesmer if nothing else.. Side note: I think it would be cool if spears/tridents or other water weapons could become a main weapon on land, it would give players more incentive to actually care about those weapon types, I think. Though I have no idea how this could be done, just throwing it out there as an idea. ( maybe for warrior/ranger/guardian idk ) Also, giving Revnant ANY other weapon since I believe they can use the least out of all classes would be nice, give them Greatsword or something.. anything. It's difficult to be versatile when you're literally stuck to 1 or 2 play styles. ( for what's viable at least. ) Anyway, these are just some of my ideas, the main two about Necromancer and Mesmer above are what I care the most about, and if no one pays attention to anything else I hope someone pays attention to that. If you agree or have any other ideas feel free to reply your opinions or wishes, maybe we can sway anet to give us what we want :3c
