Guild Wars 2

For BWE3, does anyone know when the account copy thing will be applied to the beta characters? And I also saw something that That_Shaman datamined that said something along the lines of ascended stat-selectable gear, do you think we will get those item boxes for this beta that have ascended in them rather than exotic? Or maybe its for the raid rewards?

If they do it, it will be be when you make your first beta character

No one knows.

They will do it since htey deleted previous beta characters.
It’s cloned when you make you first beta charactar as it’s been said.

Okay, thanks, I wasnt really sure if they cloned the bank when the beta actually started, or when the first beta character was made.

I hope they do give up ascended item boxes for this beta… It would be nice for once to use gear that doesn’t have any cele stats on them

What do you mean for once? Yes the character starts with celestial stat gear but for the last 2 beta weekends they have given us boxes in our inventory. When you open them, they gave you a full set of armor and weapons with selectable stats. We were able to choose pretty much any stat combination in the game so far (zerk, knight, rabid, etc.)

I’m sure that the “stat selectable” ascended gear will just be like the exotic gear we get throughout the game. It will just be ascended in quality and you can pick the stats (think Mawdrey and a few of the Ascended book backpieces).

I doubt they’ll give us ascended gear for the beta, especially since we only get one wing of the raid. It wouldn’t surprise me, though, that we could get a single piece of stat-selectable gear for completing the raid once HoT goes live.

As far as when does the bank copy, For BWE2 I loaded all of my other characters and banked all of the ascended gear and then created a beta character and the bank was generated with all of the gear I had just put in. I think it’s safe to say that if you bank it anytime prior to creating a beta character, that it should generate the bank then.

Personally, I’m going to bank everything Thursday evening when I finish for the night and then create a beta character Friday once the beta starts.

I was more referring to the trinkets more than anything. The trinkets you can choose the base stats for, but the gem is always celestial. I know it may not make a huge difference overall, I just want to make exact builds from theorycrafting to fully test out the elite specs. That’s what I was trying to say in that post.

You make a good point about the stat selectable thing. That had actually slipped my mind. And I agree that we may get a stat selectable gear piece for completing the raid, especially if its as hard as they say it is. I will probably do the same, storing all my stuff in the bank that I want to use in beta, when I get off today.
