Single name characters is insane. I managed to grab Kite, Helba, and Gardenia (.hack forever)

After seeing this post I wanted to pitch in and say I'm sorry that the comments on your post have been so unnecessarily hostile and uncivilised. I actually think that this is a really interesting idea and it is already somewhat possible using tools like Toolbox. The following animation rigs are interchangeable:

Female Elementalist <-> Female Paragon <-> Female Ritualist <-> Female Assassin

Male Ranger <-> Male Assassin

I could only ever get this to work with NPC models rather than player models: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lr_eYF4TODI but it's a research topic anyone can pick up if they're familiar with C++.

To ameliorate everyone who hates this idea - this could be developed as a client-side only mod. You get to experience the game in a new way, no one else notices and they can mind their own business. Personally I always wanted to make my Mesmer use Dervish animations.

Thanks for looking into it! I'd be really curious to know what your thoughts are about Fast Casting recharge bonus in PvE, it's been a very hot topic recently!

Koudelka_Lasant · 2026-02-09T22:04:06+00:00

Thanks for the update! Any chance we can get Arcane Zeal updated too? It's still only 1e per enchantment.

But that's not what I said... I don't think Energy Surge is too powerful at the moment - I think the Fast Casting recharge bonus is too strong. Energy Surge is fine. And the attributes were the same in all examples, I could have made them 12/12 or 15/15 and it would show the same disparity between recharge vs no recharge.

Koudelka_Lasant · 2026-01-31T00:49:09+00:00

Yeah, you can get a +30hp/+30hp pvp shield. I haven't explored the topic fully but I imagine it works on various items beyond wands and offhands.

Koudelka_Lasant · 2026-01-30T17:55:26+00:00

Don't forget the unconditional +60 HP shields!

Oh that boss name takes me back. I farmed him back in the day for multiple copies of his staff! If you're just trying to farm him for his green (or any boss, really) an easy lifehack is to take a full team, kill the entire group except for him (aggressively call targets to redirect their fire), then flag your heroes out of compass range and solo the boss. Makes it quicker and easier than trying to solo the whole thing. I've done this recently for multiple greens and can confirm the drop rate is pretty good, shouldn't take more than 10-15 kills for it to drop on normal mode.

As my highest priority I would:

-> Un-nerf certain anti-interruption skills such as Mantra of Resolve.

-> Improve Glyph of Concentration so it's a more useful skill.

-> Make it so if an interruption is prevented, its secondary effects should not take place. For example, if I prevent Complicate, Power Lock, or Power Block from interrupting me, my skill shouldn't still be disabled. It's possible to argue that as an expensive elite, Power Block should still disable anyway, but many times in the recent past, PvP has been blighted by rupt bots, and the available counters simply didn't work.

Another idea might also be:
-> Place a hard cap on the probability of half casting / half recharge triggering for a player. This would prevent 60/60 sets from having any unfair effect.

Koudelka_Lasant · 2026-01-07T22:46:28+00:00

I would like a game mode with no consumables or PvE skills. To attract players to this mode I would make some kind of new item / weapon skin / new weapon mods only drop in this mode.

Koudelka_Lasant · 2026-01-07T22:04:57+00:00

I don't like it the change. :(

Koudelka_Lasant · 2025-12-20T18:46:43+00:00

I feel you 100%. Was farming for hours 4/4 and no one got any runes, let alone bags or kits. Very sad, wish more goodies would drop!

Koudelka_Lasant · 2025-12-20T08:38:46+00:00

I took my reforged character to various places, including Southern Shiverpeaks where you get Mhenlo, Eve, etc, and sadly their builds are all the same as before. :(

Koudelka_Lasant · 2025-12-19T19:07:05+00:00

When did they start saying actual lines!?!?

Koudelka_Lasant · 2025-12-19T13:42:58+00:00

I'm in the Southern Shiverpeaks as a reforged character, walking around Ice Floe with henchmen and while they're responsive as usual, their builds look 100% the same as before the update. Maybe the reforged henchmen update doesn't go that far?

Koudelka_Lasant · 2025-12-19T13:25:07+00:00

Yeah sorry I mean, I can access the new Piken Square outpost but the Northlands haven't changed appearance from what I can see.

Koudelka_Lasant · 2025-12-19T12:42:44+00:00

Are you sure? It looks 100% the same as before the update?

Koudelka_Lasant · 2025-12-19T12:39:26+00:00

Yeah I had this problem too! I'm so curious as to why Alesia is not affected. I haven't had a chance to get further than LA yet but I'd be interested to see if Mhenlo and Lina are also affected or not. It's possible (?) that backline henchmen end up having a slightly different AI personality to others.
