The problem with releasing the Bolas without a benefit to Hunter (the skill they come from) feels like we're setting ourselves up to definitely make content we haven't designed yet for the Bolas in the future, rather than creating it alongside a piece of content which it would fit well with thematically and mechanically.
We also didn't want to significantly change the state of PvP with The Hunter Guild, but they were not removed for strictly that reason.
Also, the spear itself is to be used with the Mixed Hide Gear to hopefully build the foundation for setting the scene to explore new reward spaces.
can you at least replace bolas with something interesting? Hunter spear sounds like dead content. May as well scrap spear and come back later with something unique. No reason to release something that will have no use.
Even though the weapon doesn't have a special attack any more - it still is there to set up a foundation to explore a new rewards space.
Screw the pvp community. Complaining about salamanders being too strong? Getting bolas special removed? I was hyped for that bolas. It was going to be so much fun.
On the note of Salamanders, if you're not planning to use them against other players, you'll not need to pay the additional 'training' fee.
I have a question about Moths. Is the introduction of a shareable potion be a push towards exclusive/forced group content?
Don't get me wrong I'm fine with people who enjoy doing raids and bosses with their friends. But at the same time I feel that content should be designed with a variety of options for different people (like ToA and CoX) whether they want to solo or do it with friends. Instead of making content that is almost forced to be done in groups (ToB).
I'll still be voting yes since the moths themselves are not anything I dislike. But I've seen some other suggestions of new prayers that would also work like group buffs and I would hope that future content like raids 4 is not designed for groups only.
I wouldn't say a push towards 'doing' group content, but definitely opening up the idea of different group content and different interactions for group content - without trying to force you down that path.
