Hey all,

While somewhat less prestigious than the community visit earlier this week, I'll be off to NCSoft Europe's Wintersday Party this weekend. Is there any questions left from Billiard's visit you want me to try and pry from them?

You could try and find out a release date or general idea for the release of Chapter 4?

Could you ask them why they decided to destroy HA and how come they are so hesistant on bringing back 8v8 even though the majority (by a landslide) wants it back.

Could be a tall order given the general 'feeling' as of late, tho I am quite happy with the state of the game, seems to be a general feeling of discontent, maybe just more a indication of the handful of posters here, rather than the whole of the GW community.
I would think the most 'neutral' topic these days, would be as Landslide reccomends and just trying to pry any info you can about the upcoming release of Chapter 4(I cant believe we are allready at Ch.4).
Hope you enjoy your visit

I think I remember somewhere way back before Nightfall or even Factions that Gaile said that trading improvements were unfortunately going to be delayed and likely to hit between Chapter 3 and Chapter 4.

So is the LFG system the long touted trading improvements or is there another completely different system in the works. We never got a very clear answer on this....

Armor, key and dye storage - I understand Anets reluctance to have general storage increases which help them combat commercial farming but specific armor, key and dye storages would be virtually useless to commercial farmers while hugely beneficial to the user community - is this in the works? you've proven you can do it with materials....

Be sure to congratulate them on reconnects - that was a very difficult one I suspect.

Oh and opening up factions elite missions reminder...
And of course the usual bagering of hair stylists, name changing and account merging.... have to ask even though it's not going to happen...

Any more events planned for chapters? Like prophecies? Give people an incentive to go back there...

i agree...its time to add a few new things to Prophecies or Factions...some new weapon skins or armor that takes insignias..I personally love the gladiators armor from #1 but would like to be able to change some insignias on it..even if i had to buy it again!

Or a clean set of the 15k armours with insignia slots for 10k each maybe?

I like the way the inscription system works in NF. It would be nice for it to spread to tyria and Cantha, is this likely?

2nd have storage for dyes added to materials storage.

3rd Storage is starting to get real tight currently, This will be made worse with the addition of another chapter. MORE STORAGE IS REQUIRED!!

Nah. That's a huge discount. It works for the basic armours because most insignia prices are between 100 and 500 gold, so cutting them from 1.5k to 1k just means that adding the insignia on top doesn't significantly raise the price (and in many cases actually decreases the price nowadays). There aren't many insignias that cost 5k, however - just a couple of the specialised ones like Stonefist and Bloodstained. For 15k pieces, however... having to buy the insignia seperately still doesn't significantly increase the price - if you're buying 15k pieces in the first place, you can probably afford an extra few hundred g without thinking.

One thing that could work, however, is having a special armourcrafter that will remove the inherent stats from an existing armour piece so an insignia can be applied...

will the pattern of half-baked chapters continue, with the philosophy that it'll be worked on until the team has to start a new chapter?

Please remind them that some of the character faces STILL aren't fixed after they were changed to facilitate facial movement for cut scenes.

Please make a note to ask them when they're going to make the account system less stupid, allowing people to change their account name/password without solving a 99 number su-do-ku.

What is keeping them from implementing it again? There must be some hidden motive/issue that is preventing you to do what players ask. What is it?
If this information is shared, perhaps the community can respond... possibly help with a solution. Currently, popular opinion is that anet doesn't want to admit it made an error by going 6v6 and will not revert as it would mean admitting that... is that the image you want to project?

I vote that.

Tell JR that he's not as leet as me until he's earthquaked an infuse. He's going too, i think...

I suggest that you contact Billiard and ask him which questions he didn't have the time for to ask, so that the two of you don't overlap each other.

It's people like you that ruin these message boards by a landslide.
I am straight up going to say that I wish your posts got deleted out by mods. You have NO facts just an opinionated statement, while the OP was offering/asking for good ideas on the concerns about the community.

There are MORE PEOPLE in HA, how do I know this? Cause I constantly play HA, and I see new names new guilds all the time. More recruiting and MORE teams playing. Maybe your boyfriend next door doesn't play anymore but that doesn't mean 10 more people started it up. 8v8 = stale metagame. Drop this topic its staying 6v6 you lost.

You have GOT to be kidding me. When did you start playing HA, in November? Just for shit and giggles I logged on last night and looked into observer mode. What did I see? A team that held the last three consecutive they faced only ONE opponent each time... HA is at an all time low and anyone that has played it for awhile knows this.

He merely wanted some questions to be asked to the devs and HA is a HUGE concern for a lot of people as the poll shows. Anyways please keep my boyfriend out of this discussion as he is emotionally unstable.
