Guild Wars 2

Is there any particular reason why fused gauntlets are once per account? I know arenanet likes making it difficult to play multiple characters with things like ascended gear + account-based laurels and character-based story completion/fractal levels, but at least you can get around those with a whole lot of time and effort.

Fused gauntlets, though? Nope. One per account, ever. I’d love to have these on a couple of my 80s but it is 100% impossible. Why can’t I just do the content again on another character and grab another pair?

I’m more concerned at their lack of original inspiring designs. Yes ANOTHER fire/flame themed piece of gear? I’m already tired of all warriors looking the same (blame you CoF)

my complain is the look. its the same “hell boy” style for all 3.

Would be cool if someday in the future we could exchange them for either of the other two armor types at the cost of losing any upgrade we put on the item, and any transmutation we performed on the item.

It’s not really a big thing to me, just saying that it would be cool. At least they remain account bound even after you equip them.

I’ll just keep the ticket as a toy so it summons the npc chick whenever I want.

Not always a chick, I’ve had a male human and male asura so far.

They obviously did it so that people won’t farm the instance thus making the choice of which character you want to put the gloves on quite a significant one.

I put them on my Asure Engineer and they look absolutely beautiful plus completely in style with the rest of my profession and character’s clothes etc.

My complain is: there is no bare handed class….

(uh wait warrior rampage…)

On a side note, I’ve got 2 pairs of these (light& heavy) out of tournament chests.
Definitely alt-friendly for sPvP players

Not sure which of my characters to give these to. Don’t really care for the fiery effects.

/e Clara: Where’s the Frost!

Maybe there’s something Frosty when it’s all over?

It’s going to be a helmet with an ice-cube container to keep a cool head.

Yeah, I kinda made a decision and appointed one char to “main”, the other 4x 80’s are stationary farmers to be logged in once a day and the 4x sub 80 are on halt, maybe I’ll level them here and there a bit.

Doing it once per character to get a gauntlet for each (if that was the way it worked of course) doesn’t really qualify as “farming” to me. Its only a handful of runs.

And if they didn’t want people farming the dungeon, they’d have limited the chest at the end to once per day or something. Or not put anything good in it. But they didn’t do either of those things, you get unique stuff from the chest and you can get it over and over (even with the same character). That encourages farming much more than a 1-time per character gauntlet would.

The only “reason” I can come up with for the limit is that the patch notes mentioned the gauntlet was exotic gear (don’t know if thats true or not, haven’t had a chance to play since patch yet), and they didn’t want to provide multiple free exotics. But thats a pretty flimsy reason as well, if that was the case they could have just given lower level versions after the first run, or just given the exotic regardless because one free exotic per each individual character isn’t that big a deal. If a player with a single character can get a free exotic for their one single character, whats the difference if a player with 10 characters gets one exotic for each character? Its not like you can convert them to other pieces to completely gear a character or something, its the same piece every time, so you’ll never be using more than one at a time anyway.
