RUX SUCKS

there are always people who complain about what brings Rux. Rux items is an EXTRA, an aid to completing your album. And from time to time brings us new skills.

I feel ya, moco, but ultimately I must agree with the above.  I don't think putting out five abilities worth 2.5M at one time was the best way to satisfy the user base, but no matter what the heck Rux brings, a large number of people are going to be upset by it.  

I expect this rant coming, since it's impossible to make everybody happy since everybody has their own expectation.

For me, I'm  little disappointed Rux didn't bring the Pizzazling potatoes mine back, instead VampWeed, which doesn't match the theme (Bling bling).

But King Johnny is here so that will make King follower happy (Wolfy, etc).

It’s nice getting new things, especially abilities. Honestly I end up sticking with the original abilities except for rocket jump and bigger better butter. The rocket leap has just suited my gameplay better. There are times where I may switch out in game if the circumstance arises. If there are abilities you or anyone are curious about, I can tell you the differences between them.

Rocket jump is so useless in GW2.  I like several alternates - rocket leap, vampweed, ultra tackle, future dummy are a few that come to mind (though future dummy is very situational).  BBB is a no brainer if you have it.

Four of the Five items offered from RUX's new visit are ones I already have at that point. The only item I didn't have at that point was Bling Iron Maiden. This particular visit from RUX is catastrophically terrible. No joke.

I think the dev team is being too used to offering us items we already have as a community, so realistically, they should offer items based on the individual player's requests, rather than just for the whole community. If they can do that, the dev team will offer us those items by our request. We - the community - need to list those specific items by our individual request, and I have a few ideas on what the next RUX visit will be, by my request:

1. RUX-Exclusive Legendary Hat for the Peashooter Class as part of the FLF DLC

2. Legendary Consumable - DJ Uplink x10

3. Multi-Shuck for the Corn class

4. Legendary Hat for the Rose Class

5. Random Classic GW1 Item

Well, here's the thing.  Were we to poll 50 players for their choice of the five Rux slots, we would get 50 different answers.  As I already stated, no matter WHAT Rux brings, lots of people are going to be unhappy and complain.

I too was only able to buy the one item.  I took the million coins I had left over to the sticker shop and got three legendary hats.  When life hands you lemons, and so on.

I'm not suggesting we poll 50 players, I'm suggesting that everyone playing GW2 should select the ones they're interested in, or the ones they need, from their perspective. It's better than just showing the same five random items selected by the dev team that are in turn seen by everyone.

well since i don't have any of the abilities its great for me, kinda, i mean 2 are just blinged out abilities (our king doesn't count as bling) it really just depends if you have them or not and if you like bling abilities or not. i was hoping he would sell the 2nd piece of commando corn tho

I had four of the five abilities but even if it's just one new bling ability I don't have an issue with this Rux visit. Considering the cost of his items not everyone can afford everything he brings and some new players don't have these things having repeats isn't a huge issue as long as it's not ALL repeats.

I do still want at least 1 new legendary Sunflower hat though.
