Guild Wars 2

I have two questions for the devs:

1)Any chance we can get a “glimpse” of the concept art which is being used for the new legendaries?
-I see no harm in releasing this kind of infos, possibly there may be some constructive criticism , but all in all where is the harm in sharing some pictures with the community? We know they’re coming.

2)When will we receive more concrete infos about specializatons?
-I know that you are planning to have a blog for each specialization, at the very least a vague time frame would be helpful, something along this line :" we’ll start releasing more infos in about a couple of months".

Cheers

Any info on what the legendaries may potentially look like will impact the TP which is why we will likely not find out until the expansion has already been released.

i don’t think we’ll see how they look till datamining their images/chat codes.

The only one that’s been loosely comifmed which in mind could change at any moment was the raven staff data mined a while back

Also concept art is just that – a concept. It may look quite different in-game, through a combination of the limitations of modelling and different artists working on the design. It’s probably not a good idea to release the concept art too early on and let people get attached to that, when the end result may be different.

The price of precursors will crash regardless when we get more infos on the scavenger hunt and one thing that we can be sure is the upcoming price rise of T6 mats

True that…guess I’ll have to hold my horses

I’ve only ever seen the staff “leak”, I say “leak” because it well could have been doctored/photoshopped, though it looked pretty cool. Definitely better than the current overly-shiny bifrost.

The precursor crash is dependent on what is required to complete the collection. If it’s easier to farm the gold then you can expect precursor prices to not crash. The T6 is inevitable as prices will rise but for how much and for how long is anyone’s guess.

My post was based off a post from someone at Anet who did not want market impacting announcements made early.

Cannot believe how many people underestimate this. The collection will likely require a decent time/gold commitment. Never mind the fact you will have to give up account progression in other Masteries by spending Mastery points. Though don’t know how available points will be to know how big a trade off that is yet.

Edit: Also knowing what the new Legendary weapons will look like can have an impact on current market. One of the main reason been going back on forth on if want to buy a one of the current precursors while they have gone down is wondering if the new ones will be a lot better and would rather spend there. Might not be able to cash out if new one in the class is a lot cooler.

Or how many people overestimate the impact that precursor collections could have on existing precursor prices. Nobody knows what the collections will entail so there’s really no reason to state one way or another how the prices will go, in regards to precursors, until they’re available. This was the point of my statement in the previous post.

How the new legendary weapons look will have an impact but I highly doubt it would equate to a crash. You may see something close for precursors to legendaries such as moot and quip but I doubt you’d see anything close for those used to make bifrost, twilight, or any of the other popular legendary weapons. Players have different preferences and there’s nothing to say that some players will not want both either.

The only certainty is that T6 will rise (temporarily) but by how much and for how long is up in the air. It’s a lot easier to get them now than in the past and certainly many players are hoarding them. It also could not take much for some players to consistently undercut each other by large amounts to the point that it creates a downward spiral in price as everyone tries to cash out in fear of prices plummeting further. It’s happened before.

I just hope the septor is better looking. The one currently looks like a freak’n mage’s mace. Way to big for any of my characters, and personally, it looks stupid.

(also, it would be nice if the fixed up Howler to what it use to be, howling loop sound and it’s Night cycle effect were stolen…)

Just in case I want any of the new ones, I’ve already started on mapping again and working up my mats.
