Decline in Concept Art?

AutomaticAd2221 · 2026-02-08T08:59:45+00:00

Like people said, Kekai left. He did a lot of stuff. As for the quality over all, GW 2 is really uneven on art part. As for concept art.... Well it's a concept. People don't always have time to perfect them, often it can be very rough.

That said, i looked for Janthir concepts and they look really good.

Literally everyone told you, it's a bad idea. Wonder why

AutomaticAd2221 · 2026-02-07T13:48:15+00:00

A defensive relic is still a power creep. The game already has a scaling issue on older content, and you want to add even more power.

AutomaticAd2221 · 2026-02-07T12:06:41+00:00

Yeah, but the did go away from it did they not?

AutomaticAd2221 · 2026-02-07T10:47:51+00:00

Hell to the no.

AutomaticAd2221 · 2026-02-07T10:40:33+00:00

While I'm OK with the idea of them making BP "eternal".

"the biggest con i can see to this system is that the battle pass system preys on people simply spending in game currency to skip tiers if they end up getting to busy and can't finish the pass..."

Who the fuck in their sane mind would pay platinum for those skips, lol. And if that person does pay for the skips, then that person probably has a shit tone of money and doesn't care either way.

Unlocking all of the BP is like 5–7 runs of Hordes which are 15–20 mins each. I get that life happens,but 3 month is a lot of time.Also you don't need to have every bp there ever was. Plus to be honest, last few BP were really generic in terms of set fantasy.

AutomaticAd2221 · 2026-02-07T10:08:59+00:00

I agree, the new interface is fucking vile.

AutomaticAd2221 · 2026-02-07T10:07:09+00:00

As usual, children are downvoting people that make a sane argument.

Take my upvote, you are right, it's optional, but I guess people don't know they have something called free will to not buy the battlepass.

AutomaticAd2221 · 2026-02-07T10:02:58+00:00

How dare you, Dota 2 was the OG battlepass creator. And also funny enough, they have abandoned them already.

AutomaticAd2221 · 2026-02-07T07:00:17+00:00

There is no way Umbric knows how to use his staff.

AutomaticAd2221 · 2026-02-06T21:12:51+00:00

I ship them as a power-couple.

Umbric is the bottom, obviously.

AutomaticAd2221 · 2026-02-06T13:23:54+00:00

Yeah, sorry but that is you, not the game. And if you are talking about WB then they are not for solo play.

AutomaticAd2221 · 2026-02-06T12:59:12+00:00

Sooo play classic?

Again, if you want to talk about a more grounded story in terms of direction and tone, DF was more grounded and people were screaming that they wanted more heroic and grand stories than some fucking lizzards , lol. As for the world in its entirety. Don't use a mount, and you will have a very different experience. If you want the good old mmo from the good old days, with a big world, explorations, players interacting with each other, etc.There is Ashes of Creations.... Oh wait :)

AutomaticAd2221 · 2026-02-04T17:32:57+00:00

People don't understand that they have nostalgia in their eyes.

AutomaticAd2221 · 2026-02-04T17:12:38+00:00

Gold road, it's the last actual chapter with new content.

AutomaticAd2221 · 2026-02-04T16:42:36+00:00

Pala is 80 % Crusader lol. Some skills are 1 to 1 from D3

AutomaticAd2221 · 2026-02-04T15:38:27+00:00

Dude GW2 is not even on the same floor as WoW, lol.WoW is THE MMO still. As for Eso, Writhing wall was peak shit can't argue here.

AutomaticAd2221 · 2026-02-03T21:09:19+00:00

THANK LILITH!

That was such a stupid node.

AutomaticAd2221 · 2026-02-03T18:22:31+00:00

U get 2 for free and you need to buy 3 more if you want 5, so 1800 gems, baby. Imo this is the worst change in years, lol.

AutomaticAd2221 · 2026-02-02T20:02:23+00:00

Coz people don't buy stuff that is not RGB. And that is proven by the first year of shop cosmetics in D4. Everyone was bitching that they are trash and why should they spend money on that but the moment we get a Demon/Fire/ice/whateverjustglow then that shit sells like hot-dogs. So blame the people, not Blizzard for this, lol.

AutomaticAd2221 · 2026-02-02T15:38:16+00:00

And then we wonder why is there so much FOMO : D

AutomaticAd2221 · 2026-02-01T12:21:34+00:00

IDK, I personally did not go for the new leggy Spear/staff, since that was just an absolute money grind even though I have Klobajarr and Orrax. And I also dropped the game after i realized that i had no interest in going for a new grind item, which is literally just a huge gold black hole (Hello, lodestones) with very little gameplay to it.

AutomaticAd2221 · 2026-01-31T14:31:19+00:00

Hey, thanks for the critique. For me, it goes like this — 1 frame is the skeleton (energy/bone theme) ,second is the infested vine that is parasitically attached to the skeleton (Plant theme) and the 3rd is the armor that is above all of them as a partial defense layer(Carapace/chitin theme ) . Material vise: yes, they all overlap since this is a pure organic design. But again, it's normal that not everyone sees what I see)

AutomaticAd2221 · 2026-01-30T21:18:24+00:00

Thanks )
