As a person with serious alt problems I'd have also probably preferred slightly less but 250 isn't bad. If you've got world completion it's only 5 hero challenges and there's more than 5 you can do solo in the first two zones alone. I still would've been happier if they'd given the basic movement masteries during the appropriate parts of the story (gliding/updrafts, bouncing mushrooms, exalted markings, nuloch wallows as required) but this has gone a long way to fix things. That said, there's still a reason to do all the hero points because in case you're unaware, the new legendaries added with HoT require Gifts of Maguuma Exploration which involve 100%ing the 4 new zones. Also, doing Hero challenges on alts are a really good source of Maguuma experience which you need tons of to unlock some of the areas blocked by higher tier masteries. It's just not required to unlock your elite spec if you're only doing them in the new areas any more.

So is there any word on whether there will be any new hairstyles and colours for the races soon? I won a total makeover kit and want to use for my new Rev but if there are going to be any new hairs (sylvari particularly) I'll wait till then.

^^^ I did last night, thanks arena notItBurns posted:For real though the mob difficulty is fine. I guess this is the main issue I have: Harrow posted:That said, some of them absolutely tip over the line from "difficult" to "needlessly annoying" (gently caress smokescales) and some areas are probably too thick with quickly-respawning veterans. The mobs that can kill you in like 2-3 hits should be toned down, and some of the super dense crowds should be thinned out a bit and just make it so it's not a stressful chore requiring a spec change just to run from point A to point B without killing everything and taking 3 hours as I go. Not a drastic change. I understand and appreciate that they want the new zones to be more difficult, that's fine. CLAM DOWN fucked around with this message at 23:37 on Oct 27, 2015 |

Not a drastic change. I understand and appreciate that they want the new zones to be more difficult, that's fine. I somewhat agree with this. While I think that for the most part, HoT mobs are fine, there are a few select cases that remind me of launch-era Orr. But whereas launch-era Orr was "gently caress, pulled/immobilized/chilled again, have to kill this trash mob," HoT is "gently caress, got too close to pocket raptor swarm/got tagged by smokescale/got three rolling devils on my rear end, am dead." And that's a little more annoying given the relative paucity of WPs and how frequently they're contested.

I haven't had a problem with the mini raptors, but the bow and arrow frogs and the ones that do the revenant sword 3 thing can gently caress off. Everything else has been pretty okay, though I did switch to soldier armor with berserker accessories. Things still die just as fast.

Fixing player population and reducing the number of hero points to get an elite spec, plus a relatively smooth launch and fairly quick addressing and fixing of bugs. I like this new anet. I'm a horrible monster that got world complete on all my characters, so 5 hero challenges is much easier than 20. check out my Youtube fucked around with this message at 00:14 on Oct 28, 2015 |

Have you hit the large packs of mini raptors that are difficult to avoid? Off the top of my head there is a tunnel running south on the west centerish side of Auric basin that you have to run through or divert through the city to get around, but the tunnel has 15 or so mini-raptors. They shred you nearly instantly, I only got through by loading up on condition abilities and having them burn themselves out so I'd keep rallying after falling in the first couple seconds.

Being only 18, it feels like using death shroud as a necro is kind of a waste of time compared to just stabbing things with a dagger, unless I need to Not Die for a few seconds. I take it this improves significantly with traits? Or does it mostly stay in that state at 80? I know it doesn't matter much with how easy this stuff is but I get weirded out if I'm not sure I'm doing something "right"

Yeah, but I was playing scrapper and hammer 5 > 3 > 2 is usually enough to kill all of them while taking almost no damage.

You should also be able to get stuff retroactively for karkaland/dry top/silverwastes but you don't get that either. I'm assuming it's a bug but you never know...

You can gear and trait up to make your plague blast do some pretty big numbers as well as getting 50% more critical chance while in death shroud.

But yeah, for levelling I'd stick to using a dagger mostly (with probably a warhorn as your offhand), having either axe or staff for a ranged weapon on your second weapon set, use the signet utility that gives 25% runspeed and then whatever else you want for utilities (I prefer wells).

Xae posted:Pretty Princess Chat: Necromancer Edition I haven't seen the reaper's hood, but the Flame Legion Vestments look downright ragged. Unfortunately, they also make your arms fiery (and tail, if you're a charr), which doesn't necessarily work well for a necromancer.
