The changes they made to the Charr when the game first launched will always be among the worst botches / changes to the lore to me, as well as painting the Ebonhawke Separatists as 100% black and white evil for wanting to be independent from Kryta.

The most mediocre and disappointing execution of the grand finale of a story a decade in the making, and arguably some of the worst and most questionable writing the game has ever seen.

Well it is interesting I suppose, but I've been desperately hoping for a viable ranged DPS spec in the form of dual pistols for the last few years ever since they neutered rifle. I feel like the offhand pistol is a holdover from just such a thing and that this was developed last minute to replace it in response to FFXIV's suddenly spike in popularity. I feel like this should have been a new class altogether rather than just shoving it exclusively into warrior since it's a brand new weapon type.

Please no, half of warrior's main builds are already support builds like banner slaves. Also please no. Don't turn P/P into a support build if we get it. Warriors needs a viable ranged DPS build. The rifle has been nerfed into the ground and the bows while not quite as useless are still pretty useless.

A viable ranged DPS build for warrior. Pistol/Pistol please. No more of this banner slave / support oriented stuff. -- And also a lot of the stuff already mentioned by others above.

Anet's out in this situation is that you do not have to spend real money to acquire the chests or even the keys to open them. The chests can drop as loot and that is how I've gotten most of mine. And since you can convert gold into gems to get the black lion keys you are not forced to spend real money. I don't know if EA's sports games work similarly or not, I don't play them.

I've never much been a fan of arbitrary limitations skin wise. There's quite a few helmet skins in the light and medium section that would go great with my plate, and vice versa. Let them eat cake, or in this case, let people wear whatever the kitten they want. Along those lines, I'd also like to see all weapon types opened up to all classes because why not, even if you're limited to just 1-3 basic attacks on some of them for your class. Fashion wars and immersion demands it, I guess.

This is probably the first Halloween event I logged in and then back out in less than an hour. Just not feeling it this year. It hasn't really brought anything new or interesting to the table from what I've seen so far but I'll take another look later.

And this method is better then the current trading post how? It gives players that want to direct trade an avenue of doing so rather than relying on the mail system alone. As it stands now, you cannot see who you are trading with on the auction house and anything you post there is visible to and can be purchased by anyone. I see no harm in being allowed to specify a single buyer by name.

How about a compromise? Allow targeted sales and purchases between players utilizing the auction house. For example, a player can post an item to the auction house on offer to another player specific by name or account and said other player can either make the purchase or reject it. If the item is purchased it is mailed directly to the player and the payment is mailed directly to the seller. This would allowed the current system to persist as it is, scams will be avoided and the auction house will still take its fee, thus acting as a gold sink, and players will be able to perform direct and private transactions fairly.

Voted other, and basically everything the first two guys above me said.

They have Rifle and Long Bow. I hope the next range weapon is Dual Pistols. Likewise, warrior needs a viable ranged dps kit out. Much as I'd love dual pistols for that I'd be fine with Staff being the new weapon for those support favoring players if Anet would fix the rifle. It hasn't been remotely viable outside of pvp in almost 8 years. That said, they need to go ahead and separate PvP and PvE stats altogether so weapons and skills and be balanced independently of each mode. It sucks to have weapons nerfed and broken for PvE because of it being to OP in PvP and vice versa.

If Arenanet can't even (or simply refuses to) make Rifle viable, I doubt they will give Warrior a viable ranged elite spec. You're probably right, but a guy can dream. It would be a nice to have a decent and viable ranged weapon for the warrior in PvE. I usually like to run with a combination of a close range weapon and long range weapon in PvE so I can adapt to situations and mechanics. This works fine for every other profession I played, but the warrior's ranged weapons are very lacklustre. I can't speak for warrior ranged weapons in WvW or PvP as I don't really play my warrior much in these.I'd love to do the same and I miss doing it so much, but every time I think it's safe to break out the rifle I always end up encountering a tough enemy with a break bar and regret not having my maces on backup.

This is exactly why I'm hoping we see Pistol/Pistol in the new elite spec and that it arrives as a raw dps class rather than something support or condition based. I pray it's capable of giving the years old Axe/Axe meta a run for it's money. Doesn't have to dethrone it, but I hope it at least comes close enough to be viable.
