Q:
Talon Nighthawk [Edge] (DB Server)
Precursors
I think they would keep something this sensational under wraps until the actual patch which is cool with me. Similar to how info about making legendaries was discovered over time.
Either that, or, they’re waiting until the first release of this update to see what will and will not work before adding the ability to craft the precursors. Kind of like perfecting the system before something so critical is released.
You have to admit, crafting precursors is going to receive tons of mixed receptions regardless of the method they choose. Lets just hope it’s reasonable.
Well to be honest, what else could they fill the extra 100 levels with? It’s not like the other 400 levels where the items you could make got better and rarer with time. The only thing rarer than exotics (craftable at lvl 400) is ascended, so there really isn’t the gap fillers from 400-500.
In reference to ascended items:
Nar: I love that it will take me time and money to
reach the same level I’m at right now… …said no one, ever.

Weaponsmith, Artificer and Huntsmen
All of them. Each Legendary requires two crafting professions. Each one has at least one of those required.

My guess is that those In-Between levels will consist of different skins for the Exotic Stats already unlocked.

You sure are optmistic… we’ll be given the minimum – ascended weapons craftable at lvl 500.

400-450 i think will be ascended crafting materials like : Ori-Bar + t7 mat = sword blades f.e.
From 450 onwards you can craft the insignias for the weapons.

One would hope since it would be really silly for them to make it where you have to craft a bunch of current exotics just to get to 500. And after leveling crafting on alts it sucks since Discovery yields a high amount of crafting experience and if you already discover or there isn’t really anything to discover then it could cost a lot and take a lot of time. Which sucks for most of the GW2 population who don’t have a lot of gold.
With how it was worded, the precursor recipe will probably be a new mystic forge recipe like the legendries . They phrased it as “building your precursor”, not “crafting your precursor”, in the upcoming 2013 article. They said we would need the new crafting items (t7), 500 in crafting, and “other items” to build the precursor. So, it will probably be an easier, although time-gated, version of the legendary recipe.
I wouldn’t put it past them to scatter the recipes for them in-game as well. Like they did with the legendary ones.

They surely implement new precurser specific gifts + maybe 250 ori weapon mats + t7
They better be craftable, seeing as they pretty much just became unbuyable.
Seems like the whiners finally got what they wanted.
Instead of putting in some effort, you can just craft them.Whining on forums really pays off in this game.
This sounds like whining to me :-)

You craft all legendary mats to, so thats no effort too?
Seems logical.

Sounds like someone has been selling precursors at ridiculous prices, and is now sad he will not be able to do that anymore.

What “effort”? Grinding for money so you can buy something at a ridiculously inflated prices?
The crafting/scavenger hunt for precursors has been talked about since just after the game launched and was always intended as a means to get one by actually putting in effort and playing the game. Not by the sheer dumb luck it currently involves.
RNG and high TP prices isn’t ‘putting in some effort’.
I can’t wait for the there to be a new system implemented for aquiring precursers.

If it was not for RNG and TP prices everyone would have a legendary… Everything else is pretty cheat and easy to get. Specially with how easy it is to get gold now.

Noone is asking to making obtaining a precursor easy. What we are asking for is an alternative to grinding to you drop, grind some more, and then buy it. There is nothing legendary or hard about that, it is just annoying.
Not like it didn’t take 5 rare craftings to get from 300-400. Make 5 exotics, boom 500, 5 levels of crafting xp for your character.
At least, I wish. I really don’t want to be stuck crafting one point a day.
Finally I recalled the stopgap solution of a great princess who was told that the
peasants had no bread and who responded: “Let them eat brioche.”
