Guild Wars 2

Simple as that.

witch hat was town clothing, and obtainable mutliple times… (going from the screenshot) mask of the night is an armour skin (in which case a better comparison would be dragon bash helms… which were only obtainable once and soulbound on use… which sucks)

Everything in the original mad king was obtainable on multiple chrs. (In fact most of the game was built that way then.) I have two of the mad king memories complete edition, and one of the non-burning incomplete one cause that alt was too low level to complete the scavenger hunt. I had a hat for all five of them too, not sure if I even kept one (Hated that it removed their hair).

Since then they have restructured nearly everything into “Once per account.”

So by doing a little ‘math’ we can arrive at the conclusion, everything will be once per account. Again.

I’m wondering why they don’t use that fancy achievement panel that they have for things like the Zenith weapons and the Radiant/Hellfire armours. It’s simple, lets a player get a copy of the item as much as they want (because there’s a LOT of hoarders) and makes it so that the item doesn’t take up precious bank space. It seems like this’d be the easiest and most customer friendly way to manage any and everything that comes as a cosmetic reward from meta achievements, so I really have to wonder why it’s not used more.

Sadly they’ve been veering more and more against alts, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they limited it to one per account.

Which is completely illogical from a marketing point of view. Alts are crucial to a good mmo with a cash shop, especially one such as GW2’s Gem Store to where most items for sale are vanity and convenience. I should think they’d want to make more money, not cripple any potential sales like their current strategy does.

Anet – Buy these character slots from our store. Our special items from holiday events are one use on only one of your characters. This also includes cash shop costumes, bag slots, gathering tools and items from Living Story. So snap up your extra character slots today kids.

I’ve been saying it for ages but all purchasable items mentioned above I would have bought in GW2 had they been account bound but one time use/soulbound = No Sale! I can’t see this ever changing so I really should be grateful that they are considerate enough to save me this money.

I honestly think that Anet would like to go back in time and ship the game with only one character slot. They seem to design everything more and more anti-alt as time goes on.

Another mask?

Seriously Anet, where did the helmets go?

Is that sarcasm I smell?

They ran out of helmets during dragon bash and the bazaar of the 4 winds..

It’ll likely be given as an achievement chest reward (that seems to be the way they’ve settled as the “best” way to award stuff, its reliable and doesn’t miss people) and since achievement rewards are account-bound… yes, it’ll probably be one per account.

Don’t really mind. Masks are for mesmers anyway. :-)

They should add these rewards to the achievemt reward items, with the zenith weapons so you can get as much as you like :0.

They only award achievement point skins that way. The dragon wings from Teq weren’t offered that way. I believe this will be another item that will sit in my bank.

I do wish they offered a “Skin Bank” like they do with the achievement point skins though.

The Teq wings were given away via an achievement chest. You completed the meta-achievement for Boss Week and got the wings for doing that from a chest that popped up above your map.

I wasn’t saying they’d be offered via the achievement window and selectable at any time like Zenith weapon skins. My bad if it sounded that way.

I misunderstood. Sorry.

Honestly gotta agree, it’s starting to feel like their artists have a fetish for masquerade masks at this point. I mean, about half of the light armors in the game come with a masquerade mask as headpiece, not to mention the mesmer starter ones, the Baroque mask for GW1 vets, the three masks from the Queen’s Jubilee and now this? I’m pretty sure everyone who’s ever wanted a masquerade mask has gotten one by now.

Idk, maybe the screenshot’s not doing it justice but I fail to see what’s remotely halloween themed about it. Looks like any other masquerade mask to me. :-/

Hopefully you’ll be able to shoot out laser beams out of the eye slots on command, like cyclops in x-men.
