Guild Wars 2

For those of you who just came into the Forums and are wondering what the hell everyone has their jimmies rustled about, here’s a compilation of the changes that were talked about today.

1. -New Legendary weapons for more options when it comes to looks.
- New Legendary trinkets, most likely rings and necklaces.
- Legendaries will now have to option of changing their stats when out of combat, as to remove the need of Transmuting them. Meaning, if I need to change my build to Support instead of DPS, go out of combat, click your weapon, and select your desired Stat combo!

2. Precursor recipes will be added, thank god. They will be hard to obtain through crafting, but the option will be there, including the req. of some lvl. 500 crafting professions, new crafting materials only obtainable through crafting . (Meaning there’s a surefire way of getting them, but it will be hard)

3. All Crafting professions will be increased to 500. You can craft Ascended gear at lvl. 500, only 1 piece a day.

4. Magic Find as item stat is being removed and replaced by Account Bound Magic Find. Compensation for current Magic Find gear is on the works, but has not yet been discussed.

5. New Account Bound crafting materials will drop as daily loot for completing daily activities (eg. Jumping Puzzles, Explorer Achievements, WvW raids, etc.)

6. Champions will now drop Reward Boxes when they are killed, these boxes include money, new skins, crafting material, lodestones, etc.

7. New Skills and Traits will be added. New ways to get Skill Points will be also added for those who cannot get any more Skill Points from map anymore.

8. Dungeon bosses will NO LONGER DROP MONEY, now they will drop the previously mentioned Reward Boxes (completely nullifying Gold Find). Bonus gold will be awarded for the first completion of a dungeon path (subsequent runs of the same path will yield much less money).*

9. New weapon choices will be added to each Profession, including new skills. (This might not be this year, but it’s in the works!)

10. New weapons are in the works.

11. 3 new fractals will be added by the end of the year: Aetherblade Retreat, Molten Alliance and The Fall of Abbaddon/Thaumanova Reactor depending on who wins the upcoming Council Elections.

12. New System for collectables storing is on the works. Yay for more bank space!

13. New PvP rewards and combat system.

*RIP CoF </3

Additional Notes:
-Although Johanson couldn’t commit to a timeframe, new weapon types and expansion of current types to more classes is absolutely in the works.

-There will be new Legendary Weapons based on current weapon types, as ArenaNet wants to provide players with more variety in looks and themes for the powerful weapons. One new type of Legendary gear will definitely be putting in an appearance this year and will likely be a trinket such as a ring or amulet. Several of the current Legendaries will also receive appearance-enhancing makeovers.

-Legendary skins coming to sPvP
