Guild Wars 2

17173? GW2 China announced will sync with the global version previously but we found actually there are a lot things that do not synchronized. For instance, in the US version, the weapon skills unlock by battles but in China server this is by level. What is the reason here?

Mike O’Brien: We think that unlocking weapon skills by level is a better system. It’s simpler, it gives players more time to learn their first weapon, and then it means that they have all skills unlocked immediately when they find new weapon types later in the game.

I don’t hope this change come to NA/EU. Unlocking weapon skills by using the weapon feels more natural and realistic. Unlocking by level is old. I don’t want to go back to WoW type systems.

So it gives players more time to learn their first weapon, then when they equip a new weapon type they have 5 completely different skills dropped on their lap all at once…

okaaay then..
