Guild Wars 2

Hi everyone,

I have a few questions regarding some upcoming features, after some research there are still some things that I would like to see if there’s an official answer to it, not just speculation, the questions bellow are part of already discussed topics:

1.) PVP Leagues – To get the Legendary Backpack do you actually need to be on the Legendary League?

2.) Old legendary Precursors that will be attained using the collection system will we be able to trade them on trading post or will they be account bound?

3.) Regarding the Map Rewards we saw on Beta Weekend 1 – do tracks actually reset after completion or its a daily based reward? **

Regarding the first question, there’s already the interview from Curse and also the post from ArenaNet. what is not clear is that on the Curse Interview they say you need to reach the Legendary Division in order to star work on the Legendary version of the Back Pack(what makes sense in some degree) but that is not mentioned on Guildwars 2 post, hence my question.

• This one is probably the one we don’t have much details but to be honest the ones i am more interested are the first two.

Thanks

Question 2:

For all of our existing precursors, this is a tradable exotic weapon, but they will all be updated to use new skins that look much like the legendary weapons they’ll one day become.

Question 3:

I’m not sure what you mean by ‘completion’. It seemed you cycled through the list of rewards shown in the legend for each map. I’m not sure how often the rewards per map will ‘rotate’. Daily?, weekly? more/less often?

…most explorable maps will have an associated set of bonus rewards that rotate on a regular basis.

1) From the information we have read so far, it doesn’t sound like we need to reach the Legendary League:

“Earn league tokens to spend on PvP exclusive items like the back item Wings of Glory. Once you hit the Legendary division you will be able to work towards the legendary version of the backpiece.” – Source

That to me sounds like once you complete any tier of League, you will receive “League Tokens”, which if you gather enough of, you will be able to trade it for the first part of the backpiece (which can possibly then be upgraded through scavenger hunt achievements).

It is possible that there are exclusive parts of the item that will require a Legendary League status, but that depends on whether or not it is moderately simple for most players to reach that League tier; but from what I can imagine, it shouldn’t be mandatory (but that is just my speculation).

@Zalladi – Thanks for the info – yes that’s what I think as well, but because both Curse and Arenanet post have a slight different approach to this, I posted this question to see if we can get some info. as you said – “It is possible that there are exclusive parts of the item that will require a Legendary League status, but that depends on whether or not it is moderately simple for most players to reach that League tier; but from what I can imagine, it shouldn’t be mandatory (but that is just my speculation).”

And I agree – although I also see the point of requiring Legendary Division as it will give some more prestige to those who finish it.

Hopefully we will get some clarification

Thanks

Thanks for the links mate it shed some light on it and i got my anwser for this question as you posted the final version of the precursor will be tradable but you can only acquire it once by this method with will (hopefully not impact the market to much ^^) – ‘’This crafting system is an account-based activity, which means you’ll only be able to craft each precursor this way once.’’

as for the second yes be completion I mean that, go trough all the rewards listed in each map.

Many thanks

Hopefully this reddit thread will help answer that question:

I believe that the precursors that will be acquired through the Heart of Thorns Scavenger Hunts will be account-bound, and won’t be tradeable (as it would affect the market as you mentioned). I’ll find the quote on that and edit it here.

Edit: Hmm, turns out the only official quote I could find was this:

“This crafting system is an account-based activity…” (Source) which could indicate both speculations of it being account bound or tradeable (although I do remember reading it being account-bound somewhere…).

Yes the new precursors and legendarys will be account bound not the old ones tho.

Thant what i though as well, but look like the New precursors and New Legendaries are indeed account bound, but the old ones remain tradable. At least this is what I understood from here (Source).

Yep that’s what I understood from the post so this will answer the second question

still trying to get a more clear view on this one

1.) PVP Leagues – To get the Legendary Backpack do you actually need to be on the Legendary League?
