Guild Wars 2

I’m really interested in knowing how this change in ascended items will work. Once I get one ascended… will I be able to clone it among my characters or will I have only one item for using among all of them?

I was waiting for stat swapping in today’s update, but if this change offers a good gameplay I might return to the game too

Just like the updated mining tools, you need to give up the gear on one character, put it in the bank and retrieve it with your alt.

Account bound means just that. You arent getting X copies of the item. You have one. You’ll need to physically give that item to the character you want it on.

:S In that case I don’t see any advantage, it seems tedious and ineffective as long as you have several different characters (a heavy armor set would be only usable for 2 of my eight characters)… that’s why I am asking

I have a Zojja’s set in my ranger, if I ever want to main my thief I’ll be able to change my set to him with only a couple bank visit, currently I would need to craft a 2nd set of asc armor.

I also have sets of asc trinkets I used in an old ranger build, and currently I could use on my ele, currently those asc trinkets are stuck in my ranger inventory, after the update I’ll be able to transfer them to my ele.

Besides all that, I have frostfang on my ranger, now I’ll be able to also use it on my necro and warrior (not only the skin, the weapon itself) .

I have 8 characters… before this, I needed 8 ascended gear sets, several ascended weapons and several ascended trinkets. Now I might play with

- less than one weapon of each (two if I cannot clone them)
- very few trinkets

but… what about armors? I need light, medium and heavy set. And I need – at least – 2 stats for each (berserker and something else, for example). So I would need 6 ascended armor sets and I would be forced to go to bank everytime I swapped my character, unless the system is more convenient that it seems. That’s why I’m asking

Well … in that case, even if you could clone your items you would have the same problem. If you need 2 stats you need to craft 2 sets, if you need a heavy and a light, yet another set.

Hmmm that’s true… meh, I preferred swaping stats than this

Then craft a legendary, haha, but yeah, change stats would be cool, but lets face that it would never happen.

The way it should work, that would make it easy and convenient:
All account bound items would reside in a pane of the Hero window, much like Achievement Rewards, and you’d be able to make a copy for free whenever you wanted one.

The way it will work on release:
You’ll have to log on to the character with the desired item, drop it in the bank, log on with the character you want to transfer it to, then grab it out of the bank. Tedious busy work.

The way ArenaNet would implement my idea:
They’d find some way of charging you for every time you created a copy from the Hero window.
