Guild Wars 2

The thing here is that 99.99% of the people posting don’t understand what the problem is because it doesn’t negatively impact them; in fact helps them quite a bit. The .01% of people who find it to be important enough to spend huge amounts of gold and time to complete their crafting recipe list got royally screwed. No, they don’t lose any concrete items or the ability to do anything other than look at their full list, but they lost something important to them. Obviously there were no extreme completionist developers or they would have thought of this, but just because that list is useless and unimportant to most people does not mean it is not important to some people. I feel for the people who lost that time and gold, even though for me and the overwhelming majority of players ANet did a good thing for us and was clearly trying to be nice and helpful.

Martin Kerstein.3071:

As has been pointed out by other posters: The recipes for inscriptions are not impacted by this, you have to rediscover the weapon and then get XP from it. Example:

I can currently craft a Berserker’s Pearl Reaver. After the build, I will still know how to make the Inscription (which is the recipe), but i will need to put one of the Berserker’s Orichalcum Imbued Inscriptions, one Orichalcum Axe Blade and one Small Ancient Haft into the Discovery window and make it to be able to craft the axe again.

What “re-descover”? All of the exotics I’d discovered before are still in my list, so I can’t re-disover any of them..

I don’t really care about the weapons discovery’s reset, but the sigils discovery, well that was just a huge kick in the balls for me…many of those sigils needed lodestones and ectoplasm, we could have been given back the lodestones at least,or you could’ve have left the sigils alone.
