Guild Wars 2

So, Im one of those people who dont do to much research about a game. I rather play and then see what comes next .. But I ran into a big dissappointment for myself when I finally finnished the last story quest at level 80. I had no clue what faction to choose when I got the opportunity, I thought it was just a different line of quests, but kitten was I misstaken.

Getting the quest done, and then heading to the Whisper faction “base” thinking it was gonna be nice to get some good looking armor to put on my exotic pieces! But getting there and realizing that I made 1 big misstake, I should have checked the Faction armors before choosing faction. So now I either get some other armor, or I reroll my full exotic guardian for a new Guardian just to be able to get the Vigil gear.

Wouldnt it be a great deal of extra content to be able to finnish all the factions? That would also make it possible for more unique setups of gear and less people would look the same?

This way you dont get it for free, but you have the opportunity to do another story line and get that armor on you main character aswell. At the moment many people level alts to be able to complete all story quests, but for those who dont like alts and like focusing on 1 character I think this would be a nice addition.

Would be nice to hear a dev response aswell.

This wont make any sense.. That character has already saved Orr and beaten beaten Zaithan.. And now you wish to rewind time to do it all over again, as all thre orders works towards the same goal.
This would have been possible if there was 3 different storylines, wich it is not. It is the same story line, wieved from three differnrt angles..

i think we should be able to buy armor from other factions when we have beaten zhaitan, just sayiing.

Isn’t the pact the formation of the 3 orders working together. I think when you get to that point in the game you could be able to get the other orders armor. It makes some logical sense without needing to redo story or change much.

Well yeah, best would be if you could buy all faction sets once finnishing story quest.. But from own experience the devs usually dont wanna give away stuff for free.. So this way you would actually need to do something to get the armor/weapons.. As long as i can get My hands on some pieces of the vigil set im happy.. Trust me, im far from a pveer, i just do it cause it yeilds rewards, and for the cosmetics and money for exotics :P

Does arenanet have any intention of making this happen? A dev responsen would be nice. I would even consider buying the pieces from BLT if they get available there

I could see unlocking the armor for your other characters after you complete each faction’s story. So, if you complete the Vigil stuff, you’d be able to buy Vigil on one of your other characters, but you’d still be locked out of Priory and Whispers gear until you complete those.

This way, you wouldn’t have to roll another Guardian, but you would have to have another character complete the Vigil storyline in order to unlock it for your current Guardian.

And there is a very simple way to make that work:

Make that gear account-bound, instead of soulbound.

Anything bought with a currency that can be transferred between characters (gold, dungeon tokens) should bind to account, not to individual characters.
