Just check the OP's post at the bottom: "Last edited by FallenAngel_; Apr 29"

It's not up to date... it hasn't been updated since the first few hours after tonics appeared when there were still discussions and rumours. The list has since been compiled and edited on the wiki, links in post #67.

that surprises me tbh. Norgu's belly is one of the most impressive things in GW besides Olias' cheeks in his chaps

Ewww, Morgahn. Seriously.... who would want to turn into him?? Why bother with all the crappy whites.... just reduce the total number, 11 tonics (similar to number of minis normally introduced). Just...so...much....crap. Tahlkora, Morgahn? Seriously.... the design of the NPCs in the game is bad enough that I avoid them, why would I want to see more of them?

I got Tahlkora. What a waste of storage space.

It would have been a much better choice to introduce only [6..14] tonics but actually make all of them likable, in my opinion. Heroes that are visually very similar to what player characters can already look like are bad choices for transformation tonics.

Characters I would have liked to see include grawl longspear, charr axefiend, afflicted warrior, corsair weaponmaster, etc. You know, things that are humanoids yet still different enough.

Yep they should have just done something totally awesome but non-tradeable. People were making stupid money off these lame things. It wasn't thought out well at all in terms of giving economic advantage (like 6 years need it?) and the majority of tonics being a buzz kill rather than a treat.

Just because a person has been playing 6 years, doesn't mean they are rich or anything, a lot of the game is full of luck as well. I have had to buy almost every single mini pet i own because all i would get would be doubles or triples of ones i already had and didn't need. So i mean you could say it goes both ways.

Yeah I have a hoard of wallows since its the most popular mini for me to get for my first bdays --not being able to trade them or sell them would have meant a ton of trashed minis. (and yeah I have been playing for almost 6 years--not a single green mini have I gotten out of more than 100 bdays gifts opened--luck, where????) Some people just get good drops, while some of us get really bad ones (same goes for ANY gifts--be the nic, bday, wintersday etc).

Anyone else think they could make the mad king tonic just a tad bigger? :P

I'm really excited for next year now.

With the gifts gone off the trail of minies it could be nearly anything.

I think GW2 will be in the stores this time next year. Obviously it'll be too early to call for sure, but don't get your hopes up on future content for GW1. It's in Anet's best interest that as much people hop over to GW2 (For obvious reasons= $) and adding neat shit for GW1 is not one of things that fits that agenda.

Not saying they're going to kill GW1, just saying that they'll just let GW1 run it's natural course with a maintainance build every now and then, but definatly no new content.

I seriously hope not. This game has run its course for a lot of people with many expressing their dissatisfaction with them taking so long and their patience has grown thinner and thinner. This coming WoC content will be the last major update for this game but after that are they really going to let us sit for a whole year doing nothing? I don't truly know what they have left to work on but the game looks well done and polished. The Thief videos showed underwater content and it looked damn good so I still think it will be this year late 3rd/early 4th.

IMHO, GW2 will be released 1st Q-2012, maybe 2nd Q. I don't see it coming in before then. That will give them time to fix the mess that GW2 is becoming.

AND....if they plan to have GW1 4-6 year players migrate over then they will surely create 1 last character class that is a magic wielder. That Commando...er, Engineer...has no place in a fantasy MMORPG.

Really ArenaNet...Rifles, grenades and Machine Gun Turrets? What in the world kind of game is this. Pistols were bad enough, but this ish is getting totally out of hand.

That engineer reminds me so much of tf2. Sentry, dispensers(healing turrets), "rocket jumping".

I can see how the charr would end up with this though, but i agree its a bit too much.

Also they did say that they would not drop gw1. there will be a team working on gw1.

I think people are jumping the bandwagon a bit too early on the: "Technology is shit, no weapons in GW2".

From a lore point of view: We already have fireworks, and the asuran have technology way above ours today. I know you can't compare our world to the GW-world, but the same logic can be drawn.

Even more so, I think that the weapons (and turrers) had a nice style to them. For some reason, a Charr engineer really seemed to work (Purely looking at visuals) so I really wouldn't say: "it totally doesn't belong there". It probably just looks that way because you've never seen it in GW1 (aside from da chopper in the april update) and your brain identifies guns with brainless shooters. Essentially, a gun is no different than a bow, with offcourse the obvious handicap it won't one-hit-kill people.

What I am worried about, is the balance of those turrets and guns. Anet might not realize it yet, but they're creating a vast database of mechanics, way larger than GW currently has, and we all know how the balance turned in GW. (And that's without all this new effects, race treats, etc)

I got a Tahlkora tonic.

Bleh.

The upside is that the person I adventure with most often is a female monk. I bet she'll get an Olias tonic for her 6th. Heh.

For this reason alone, Norgu is now my tonic of choice! It is absolutely ridiculous, but I am loving taking as Norgu!

My first one was a EL Hayda. Not great but still made a few ecto off of her. Second one is the one I was praying for, EL Margonite! WOOT! Last year I thought Anet should give a glow to those that have been playing for so long so this tonic lets me glow in a different fashion! Totally stoked!

They should make the hero tonics alternate armor forms every time you use them.

I can see the argument for some heroes, but both Sousukes elite armour sets look awful.

so after checking wiki, Zhed doesn't do emotes, which makes him a dull and boring El...waiting for my other character to turn 6 later this summer hopefully he ain't garbage.

Zhed has an idle animation though, which is similar to emotes.
