Guild Wars 2

Anet, you obviously made it difficult for everyone to play this game with not letting us transmuting stats, please figure this out asap…you guys change the traits and the runes along with a bunch of other stuff, so people are obviously going to need to change their stats, but Anet obviously did not think of that….and now its near impossible for people like my self with an expensive rune set, along with wvw gear that cannot be salvaged.

Wasn’t it like this from the start?

Previously, we were able to transmute runes from a set using the stones, this enabled people who used exotic wvw gear purchased from badges to transfer runes between different sets to allocate their build changes. Now that we can no longer do transmute runes over, and we have never been able to salvage wvw armor, the runes become inaccessible once placed on wvw badge armor.

Most likely an oversight. The same happens when runes are applied to armor obtained with Karma, such as the Temple armors.

I’m not expecting ANet to do anything about this, however.

I just dont get it, they make a huge patch CHANGING stats and they expect everyone NOT to change their equipment. makes total sense

No, that’s just you being peeved about the change. Me? I’m not affected by it at all.

Well you must be the kind of a player who did not take advantage of armor and rune stats change. Other people like Artin who want to take advantage of the nice patch changes cant do so without spending 100 gold. The problem is that if you want to go from Xtype of armor with Zrune to Ytype of armor with the same rune you cant. The only way is to buy a new set of Zrunes which can be as expensive as 15gold per rune. And some armor cannot be salvaged so there is no way to get the runes back.

Ha! Well, that edit didn’t turn out too well.

Perhaps, there will be a way to earn Extractors soon, or the price may be adjusted.

Yeah, the current system just needs to be ironed out to work more similarly to how it did before. Introducing a pop-up window (like before) that allows you to choose which look, armor stats, and rune stats you’d like to have represented in the final piece would be all it would take to fix the problem.
