Guild Wars 2

Hi Guild Wars 2 Team,

Was wondering if you can clarify what you meant by gears in the new Laurel Reward system.

1) What is the point of having distinct boxes for the Heavy/Medium/Light Classes? Has the Team created class exclusive equipment already? Or is it more for avoiding getting a Scepter on a Warrior, or an Axe on Guardian?

2) On a more important note, does “gear” include weapons in the lot? Is there a chance to get named, or even pre-cursor weapons from those boxes?

Hope you get to answer my queries – haven’t tried to research on the matter, and it’s always good to hope that one of the game’s representatives can take the time to answer.

Keep up the good work!

It’s to avoid getting a weapon your class can’t equip.

Atm no one knows what is exactly is in them because these boxes require 5 laurels to buy and everyone atm only have 3 laurels at max. Wait for another 2 days and we will know more

Just by the description of Heavy/Medium/Light Classes should tell you the answer. From the beginning, Anet has given every class a type. Heavy, Medium, or Light Armor type.

So its not class specific, its class-type specific. Plate/Leather/Cloth users.

It is actually class specific – you have Warrior Boxes and Guardian Boxes. I personally think it’s just to avoid getting something you can’t equip on that specific class, like getting a bow on a Guardian. But one could also speculate whether the same odds apply to getting Gear that is common to both. (Are the odds of getting a specific sword from Warrior Box the same as getting it on a Guardian Box, and for that matter a Thief Box?)

Ever reliable Dulfy. Yeah coming from player experience will be a discussion in the next few days and or weeks, so I’m hoping for someone from the producer’s end to entertain us a bit. A simple yes on the pre-cursor would actually shut me up. I just want to figure out if more avenues of getting those elusive items are available to us. The Mystic Forge proves to be very costly, and going an insane number of times on a specific dungeon path for chests is just too robotic.
