Guild Wars 2

Does this affect existing chars as well?
Furthermore: If SP’s cannot be gained anymore by levelling beyond 80…will this affect the price of crafted items where SP’s are needed ?

I really hope aquiring SP’s will be compensated fairly..

Expect the Anomaly to double in price… Oh and the fact that you need ~350 SP to craft 1 Legendary… Hmmmm……..

Exactly!
So..I assume the prec’s will drop in price..but the final Legendary product will skyrocket?

It all depends how they are handling the skill points.
For example if you get 1 skill point per dungeon daily will it really skyrocket? at least 8 Sp per day + maybe 1 for each fractal daily? that would be 12 skill points per day.
I wouldn’t assume right now legendary or the anomaly would skyrocket…

You don’t get a skill point from filling an XP bar anymore. I don’t see that having any impact of the rivers of skill point scrolls flowing from other sources like champion bags.

That would be a relief

to quote the wiki: Skillpoint

Acquisition

1 skill point is earned for each of the following:
Completing a skill challenge
Past level 80, for every 254,000 experience points earned (one level).
Dessa’s Experiment Journal (purchased for 35 Fractal Relics)
Scroll of Knowledge

etc….

I can also confirm that as of last night, filling the experience bar does grant a skillpoint. I watched it on my toon.

I’d like to see Anet address if skillpoints will be accumulated after HoT only through levelling and consumables or if they will still accumulate after 80 through regular game play.

Edit: kitten , asked and answered:

“This means characters that have reached level 80 will no longer gain skill points through leveling. Skill points will be added as rewards across high-level content to offset this change.”

So, next question; Will these be time gated or one time rewards? Or more scrolls?

My guess (which guessing is all we can do since they haven’t said explicitly) is that they will simply add SP Scrolls as an automatic drop for certain content. Taking that even further, it will likely drop automatically from the boss chests, explorable dungeon path rewords, fractals, and maybe even the “completionist” daily reward chest.

personally, I think this is more than enough.

Yes it will until people realize that

We already get a lot of skill points from champion bags. About 1/4 to half of my current skill points are from me collecting champion bags.

My question is what happens to the experience bar for those who don’t buy the xpac and for those who only WvW?

No idea what will happen for those that don’t buy, but I’m almost certain I’ve gotten scrolls of knowledge from boss chests in EoTM now and then. Even if not, they are in ready supply in the Silverwatstes.

The changes will not take place till the expansion which will be a long time away and just before it becomes live,many will use all the consumables up just like what happened to the karma changes
