I want them to add a pet farm in guild halls where I can go with my phant tonic with rift warden skills and just blow them all up!!! GW needs more mini games.

well, all they are adding to this game is either pointless/useless or stupid

1. mini pets/tonics - why the hell are they needed?! = pointless/useless

2. ultimate skill buffs/nerfs - err, they know how to nerf skill to make it useless and they know hot to buyy it to make it too powerfull... then they should write down what they want to do with current problematic skills and then after that's done only put 50% of nerf/buff in effect - would make it more balanced lol

it's just stupid that they completely forgot about gameplay(too buffed/nerfed, no new missions/dungeons) and only care about "visuall effects"(pets/tonics).

Ah well, can't w8 to see how will GW2...

Degen is not considered damage, so [[Divine Intervention] does not trigger

I hope that's what not got fixed in this update.

i think tonics are cool, their prices are just too high. I suggested permanent costumes way back when the first timed tonics were introduced, but I didn't think they would cost so much. I like all the tonics.

well something all the mega rich can spend their plat on now and those of us 'casual' gamers will only think about for a split second and then go back to trying to get enough plat for the next piece of elite armor ---

the golem looks cool though

So the old tonics are taken out of the chest, new ones are put in, and the few that get the infinite use ones now have the rarest item in the game? Yeah, that doesn't surprise me considering what else they've done in the past.

To be completely honest, I was expecting a lot more than just what the update did. As for the part about Dart Traps, I noticed that from one of the dungeons I did last week, but can't put my finger on which one.

They should add transformers tonics. Where you use it and you transform in a random either enemy or animal. SO like you would use it and you could be a stone summit guy or a hydra or a white tiger or rabbit, etc and then you can transform into a big cool robot like a GOLEM but cooler lol.

Yeah, it's pretty silly that they are consistently late with the prediction points. They made a whole automated tournament system, Is this really that hard?

For some reason I was expecting this update to me more impressive. Dunno why...just was.

I was somewhat thinking they would re-nerf Shadow Form. Not because I want them to, but because I started a Sin today. >_>


I don't like the new Tonic. Last month's was 100x better (imo).

And here is the "OFMG ITS FREE" comment.

They made a feature, they released it to the public. They should be expected to update it frequently. Lots of people rely strictly on these reward points to get z-keys, so releasing a new item without the points is just stupid. They should have waited and released them together.

Then again, this is a developer that adds a title for opening that thing months after it was added. I guess I should expect it...but that's a different thread.

Really, I could care less if it's "free". I didn't register on the site for nothing, I'd like what I was told I'd receive. Plus, nothing is free. Ever. I've paid more than enough to anet for me to justify having this little complaint. Not only that, but as someone said earlier, this entire process is supposedly automated - that's the magic of their system. Distribution of points should be nothing difficult.
