Rediculous update?

Well, i was not even slightly excited to see this all mighty M.O.X hero..

First of all, who on earth needs a new dervish hero in pve..? Second of all, its a pve only hero..

They seem to have made it all flashy, but ultimately it's usless. If i wanted to use a dervish in pve, we already have kahmu and meloni, and there's not much point using three dervish in a mission, so why on earth did they make him.

I was just really dissapointed that Anet didnt give us a little more..


Now every party i enter, every player has their mox ready to go.. and sometimes everyone insists on bringing their own mox "It'll look coooooL".
So we have 2-3 mox in our mission, exactly what we need


Anet -" Well, you've played the game for countless months, own all the campaigns and we're celebrating, so here, have a useless hero "

Do you not agree?

No I do not agree at all.

It is a welcome bonus, it's not like ANet has the obligation to give us ANYTHING free.

Consider it a bonus, if you don't like it, don't use it. I probably won't use a Dervish hero either, as most of the time I use Necros or Paragons, but it always fun and exciting to see something new, plus it is nice to see ANet's efforts on adding small content. They went through all the work to add a new hero, a new quest, the Fire Imp... they deserve some thanks IMHO.

Maybe they should have given us nothing instead. He's pretty bad ass, and dervish heroes aren't all that bad. People are so deeply ingrained in Sabway, they don't touch anything that's not a necro or ele. Give a WS or DN Orders build a shot, they work pretty well.

The quests had awesome rewards and the quests were fun. Maybe you didn't want to use more than one Dervish hero, but not every update is geared specifically towards the individual. "The community" has had a pretty big backlash against adding a derv hero, but how many people post regularly on guru compared to the number that play the game? The average player got a cool looking hero in a game that's all about collecting things that look cool, a quest with solid rewards, and some new content. If for some reason you want to PuG, I think people bringing a relatively strong hero should be the least of your worries.

Well it depends on the player. Those who like using Dervish heroes are probably happy beacuse, like you mentioned, it's a new kind of hero.

I'm not a fan of using dervish heroes nor do I use my dervish character for anything other than storage, but it doesn't affect me.

However, it's good to have a new quest for a change. Only wished they made it longer, like the scavenger hunt for the Black Moa Chick.

Limiting this to discussion...

I was a little disappointed that it was just a hero. But, it's easier than a new expansion or some other game changing addition. It'll keep some people happy for a little while. After all, people like shiny things that don't do much for the game (see: High End forum).

That being said, new things are coming. Quests, etc leading up to GW2. So, since they're working on that, I'll be happy with any new content that they'll release. Hopefully it's a sign of things to come.

(See how easy that was? No QQ, no ANet bashing. Simple, huh?)

Imo Dervish/Necro is Teh replacement for livia resto bar !!!

And Mr.Mox is cool !!

Yes, I agree. Anet should stop giving us stuff for free, as most players are ungrateful and never satisfied.

I appreciate this because Regina Buenaobra said somewhere that there are only 2 or so people currently working full time on gw1 and some who work part time, so given that fact this is pretty big.

Totally agree with OP.

Nvm of a reward for owning all games.

Surely better would have been some sort of uber (didn't want to use super lol) hero for completing all 4 games. e.g only available in HM

Doubt I'll even get M.O.X unless I get bored one evening


I can imagine this conversation at Anet....

A: "We're working on a new hero for GW2, what do yo think of it ?"

B: "Not bad, have you play tested it ?"

A "Not much, let's see what players think of it in GW1"

Worthless snippet imo

What they should have done, were MOX not to be a profession changer, is simply upon recruitment allowed the player to set what profession he was, unchangeable in the future. Many would have liked another Elementalist, others a third Paragon, still others could have chosen MOX to be a profession to replace another hero they didnt like as much. I dont know many people at all that wanted another Dervish. That's the problem.

[sarcasm]Wow, Anet sucks, they gave me a new hero, 10k gold, 10 Tonics, 50k XP for free. I cant believe they did that, how pathetic.[/sarcasm]


Jesus you got something for FREE, if this was a p2p game I could understand all the whining and complaining. Its not, you got FREE content plus some sweet rewards for completing the quest.


People suck.

I loved the update
I loved the quests
I love M.O.X

Stop complaining for free stuff.

* Changed the ctrl-click text for the PvP buff from "I am under the effects of PvP!" to "This is PvP!"


shitty update
anet has one month for each update and they give us crap in return wtf
totally ridiculous
i want my RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing prediction points and not a stupid update that'll lag my game to shit
i'm warping around town like a mad man
seriously wtf
they should include the 'enormous lag' in their update notes as well next time

Forget MOX, I'll take a piss easy 10k per char, thank you.

Seriously, you didn't pay for this stuff, whine less. You're lucky they're still doing anything at all with the game.

QFT

If you were dying of thirst in the Desert and someone gave you some water you'd probably complain it was too warm.

I love dervish Hero's and now I don't have to use silly Melonni that looks plain. Khamu and MOX with some nice builds I have loaded on them. Free 10k, 10 summoning thingies, 10 tonics, and a fun questline (Difficult at first I might add)

GG anet I love this update. Too bad you can't limit your updates to stay away from unapreciating bastards like the OP. They honestly Don't have to give us shit until GW2 and they would STILL have a large profit so any updates I receive are welcome.

Execpt quest reward, update was bad.

im glad they gave us a lil something new but honestly the dervish heros are the ones i still havnt runed up since i never ever use them. i was realy bummed to hear that it was gonna be a derv. but it looks pretty cool and bla bla bla, its not much but it was free

Lets see, you can only take 3 heroes per person so keeping that in mind we have

3 monks,
3 warriors
3 eles
3 rangers
3 necros

so any additional core characters would be useless (except for the mesmer I guess but 3 hero mesmers would be useless in PvE since they can't use CoP)

So what is left

RTs
Sins
Dervishes
Paragons

I myself would have liked a paragon more then a derv but as it is I barely use my hero's anymore anyway.

It just goes to show you that you can never make anyone happy and people will always want more.

There are people out there who would complain about a free Bentley because it was the wrong color.

I liked the update and the quests (except all the running for the last part). I am sure there are more to come.

Agreed.

I am not complaining but...

MOX should have been an open profession, meaning the player could choose what primary profession it was. Only human dervishes are useful (well, majority of them). Since I'm on this subject: I HATE WARRIORS WITH HEALING BREEZE AND/OR MENDING ON THEIR SKILL BAR. RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO.

Well, that's all I have to say. I have a lot more to say but I know 90% of the readers know what type of stuff I'm gonna say, so I'm just not gonna say it at all. I'm drunk. Leave me alone.

Kourtney Kardashian is hot. Google her, if you haven't already. She is Kim Kardashian's sister. They are both hot. If you are going to masturbate to either one of them, I would masturbate to both. That way you kind of kill two birds with one stone. Kind of.

Peace.
