Guild Wars 2

Hello.

I just wanted to say thanks to ArenaNet for the customization we have gotten in last 6 months, or since June if you want.

Here is what we have gotten:

12 new armour sets:

1. Aetherblade (heavy).
2. AetherBlade (medium).
3. Aetherblade (light).
4. Braham (heavy).
5. Magitech (medium).
6. Phoenix (light).
7. Phalanx (heavy).
8. Viper (medium).
9. Trickster (light).
10. Acended (heavy).
11. Ascended (medium).
12. Ascended (light).
(Flamekissed does not count as new sets. Putting new textures and fire on old armour does not make it a new armour set).

7 new weapon sets for each weapon type:

1. Jade.
2. Zenith.
3. Aetherized.
4. Sovereign.
5. Zodiac.
6. Dreamthistle.
7. Ascended.

30 new faces.

35 new hairstyles.

(a lot of back pieces, a few helms and stuff like that, but they are all gone…)

1 new heal skill per profession.

Thank you, ArenaNet, for all of these things.

3. Aetherblade (light). – Cash Shop
4. Braham (heavy). – Cash Shop
5. Magitech (medium). – Cash Shop
6. Phoenix (light). – Cash Shop
7. Phalanx (heavy). – Cash Shop
8. Viper (medium). – Cash Shop
9. Trickster (light). – Cash Shop
10. Acended (heavy). – Actually a nice addition
11. Ascended (medium). – Best medium armor in the game?
12. Ascended (light). – Ehhh….

7 new weapon sets for each weapon type:

1. Jade. – RNG Pachinko Crud
2. Zenith. – Nice at first, then they REMOVED the electric trail… WHY!?!?
3. Aetherized. – RNG Pachinko Crud
4. Sovereign. – An acquired taste. Sad they were temporary and not sellable on TP.
5. Zodiac. – RNG Pachinko Crud
6. Dreamthistle. – RNG Pachinko Crud
7. Ascended. – Admittedly, great job by ANET.

30 new faces. – Cash Shop

35 new hairstyles. – Cash Shop

1 new heal skill per profession. – LOL!

Thank you, ArenaNet, for all of these things.

Fixed it for you.

I don’t want to bash the ANET team for all their hard work, but I hate when a B2P game is treated like a P2P game.

At least we’re able to convert gold to gems, so things like the new armor sets can be disregarded as 50g instead of cash.

Still, kinda makes me sad we hadn’t had much new content worth the wait. There hasn’t been anything compelling as Fractals since last November.

The RNG parts were bad, but you cannot be angry at them for putting most of these cosmetic items in the gem store.
That’s what games without a subscription fee do. You don’t pay a subscription, so instead there is a cash shop. And you can’t even call the gem store a cash shop, cus you can buy everything with in-game gold.

Heck, even WoW does it. And WoW has the most ridicolous way of milking you.
-First you buy the game(+ all of the old expansions).
Then you pay 15$ per month to log in.
Then you buy the new expansion for 60$.
There are microtransactions like server transfers and race changes, all of them cost 20$ per character.
There is also an in-game cash shop selling mounts, pets and skins.

Ascended gear isn’t exactly customization/horizontal progression sir, so you can take those three off the list.

ANET did realease Champion boxes and their exclusive skins people were asking for (such as the Rapier and Cliffside Hammer), so I will give them credit on that.

Really great addition to the game.

And the SAB skins, and all the back pieces.

I do think the game has gone in an overly gem-store direction, but there have been quite a few additions outside of it.

Actually they are very much customization, seeing as they have new and unique skins.
