Though this small outpost has few people visiting it, I do find it to be an annoyance that there's all that Ice causing -70% movement if you stop moving. I think that it'd be beneficial if this environmental effect were to be removed. Its not that big a deal, it just bugs me.

I am annoyed by it when in a hurry, but it's unique. Keep it as it is.

If it was the size of droknars forge or others....then maybe yea. Its something thats unique that helps make prophecies what it is. Its not like you need to spend a lot time there like other fully equipped outposts.


Grotto is small and inviting. Who knows, maybe you'll see the next ice capades there.

If anything, we need more towns with something to make it unique. Marhan's and Mouth of Torment have environment effects, Tarnished Haven has Shing Jea Sherman and Mhenlo's pop-locking. There's really not enough of these things.

Generally asinine idea, no reasoning behind wanting it removed beyond you just not liking it. Implementing it would do nothing for the game, and would be a general waste of time.

Yeah it's annoying when you just want to go to a merchant or something... but it's been that way forever.
Best is when you see people "sliding" across it. Not sure if they can still do that or not.

MAYBE patches of snow around key stopping points like merchents and stuff, but not removing the ice altogether. I like it, and most people do, and if anything, outposts need more of that stuff making them unique.

Why remove something unique that really doesn't bother anyone for more then 2 minutes?

it has been here longer than the icons for some of the armor you can buy there (and some of the armor all together)

It is unique and doesn't hurt anything, leave it alone! leave the ice alone!

There also should be an opposite to this, similarish to Burning Speed, except you are constantly burning. You have to do everything asap or else you degen out. Put it in the Ring of Fire somewhere. Or in Kamadan for massive lols.

People still hang out in Marhan's Grotto? I did not know that. But I do know that back in the day when is was a very popular place, the people who frequented the place never complained about the ice. Sooooo.....

I would agree with this. Annoying, but a nice touch.

Will removing it make me want to visit that place more?
Of course not.

The effect is certainly appropriate for that location.

Makes no difference to me, really. Mildly annoying, but it's not like it matters since it's such a small outpost. There are better things to do than this, /notsigned.

Wow I never seriously considered that I'd get flamed.
Then again I did post in Sardelac so I should have seen it coming.

I never said it was something Anet should seriously consider doing, I just found it annoying from time to time. I still like having something unique in an outpost. Anyways, this went nowhere fast.
