Q u o t e:
I posted recently in the beta forums that changes to shards is something we are talking a lot about right now. I don't have any specific announcements yet, but we do recognize that the feature has changed quite a bit from its original intention.


So your looking at Soul Shards for locks, any word on looking a hunters ammo? Not only do we loose a bag slot like locks do, but it costs a fortune.

Obviously every class has something along these lines, but hunters have it a lot worse than anyone else

While originally the cost of ammo was offset by us being able to FD and avoid a repair bill. Not only do most boss fights no allow that anymore due to AOE, but its also not just us who can do it anymore (eg. Vanish, Invisibility).

The cost of ammo has also gone through the roof, with hunters spending 40-50g just on ammo for a single raid.

An idol type item for ammo has been suggested many times in the past, and I personally love the idea. Give it a durability so we still have to pay for the ammo if you like (make it take a durability hit in a similar way as throwing weapons).

Having this would also let you add ammo in as boss drops, aswell as having it on vendors, like the ammo that dropped in LBRS, but make it actually useful (which is why throwing weapons were changed in the first place).

I'm not asking for free/unlimited ammo, but some sort of middle ground would really help us.

We are looking at ammo too. We think there might be ways to turn it into an interesting decision about ammo type and not something that requires you to procure 500 stacks before a raid.
