Guild Wars 2

Where’s backpieces? Not at the glory vendor, not at pvp locker…

“Added the PvP-specific back pieces to the glory reward vendor.”

You won’t mean that backpieces are the orrible flags? O_o

Yes they are. they said that before

They just needed a bullet point for the notes to say, “see we did something in pvp”.

Wait is that really what they meant? They were moving the cruddy old banners from the old vendors to the one off to the side? o.O

Tyler Chapman.1832:

Here’s a bit more information to clear the air on this stuff coming in for this next patch:

What will be in the rank chests?
We are exchanging out the old rank up reward chests with three new rewards chests based on the level you are.

Here are the thresholds:

• Ranks 1-9: Players will earn 1 Small Reward Box each time they level in this tier
• Ranks 10-29: Players will earn 1 Medium Reward Box each time they level in this tier
• Ranks 30-80: Players will earn 1 Large Reward Box each time they level up in this tier

Loot table for rank up reward boxes:

• Small reward boxes will contain random crafting materials and stardard loot
• Medium reward boxes will contain 1 scroll of knowledge(skill point) and rewards similar to the small chest but in the next tier loot table above it.
• Large reward boxes will contain a tome of knowledge(1 PvE level/skillpoint), 5 champion bags, and 5 scrolls of knowledge (5 skillpoints) each. Tier 5 crafting mats included.

What are these guild tabards?
Sorry for the confusion but these are just the same items that were on the rank vendors. Tabards, banners, back pieces, regardless the name, they are NOT capes. The “back banners” will still be there until the feature build but the reason we put them on the glory vendor was because we planned to previously remove the rank vendors entirely for this build, meaning they would no longer be available. Having these vendors should give you all some more time to get anything you don’t have yet and help with inventory management. Both the rank vendors and glory vendor will be removed upon the feature build so make sure you do this. I suggest to open all your chests, don’t just leave them unopened as they will be deleted. Either way, don’t be too alarmed because tons of new rewards are coming. Even PvP specific ones!

What about salvage kits?
The salvage kits on the glory vendor have been changed to cost a small amount of copper instead of being sold for 100 glory. The salvage kits on the rank vendors will remain 100 glory until the vendors are removed themselves.

Hope that clears some questions up!

It’s more or less a non retroactive placeholder on rank chests until the feature build which will (should) have retroactive ranked rewards/unlocks.
