Guild Wars 2

Ehra.5240:

As someone with Mad Memoires, I’d be perfectly fine with it being made obtainable again. Enjoying the game is enough of a reward for being around since the beginning, I don’t need content to removed from the game and made unavailable to newer players for my time ingame to be validated. I view the birthday gifts as plenty of a reward for being an early adopter.

This right here is how we should all be. Make the content available to the new guys like to us vets many years ago so they can EARN it like we did. I had many stuff from old events that I don’t even use because they are hard to theme on a character. Such as Mad Mermoires You would almost have to use a fiery theme example COF armour.

Watch, they’ll bring back Tribal armor as a reward in PvE in HoT. Watch Liewec.2896 and people like him blow a fuse.

i won’t blow a fuse, i’ll just slowly shake my head at ANET f%%king up one of the what…5 cool things from the past that are no longer obtainable,
atleast i can still wave around my greatsaw that you don’t have.
you better start moaning for them to re-add that, we wouldn’t want rare things in GW2 would we!

tim.1280:

They gave people like two weeks notice to spend all of their glory… They also warned that fractals would be reset.

How are these things the same as bringing back various weapon and armor skins that were unintentionally taken out of the game.

2 weeks haha…
you were told FIVE MONTHS BEFORE HAND and then constantly reminded over and over, last time someone made the same silly claim you did i dug up a ton of posts from the news feed, but i can’t be bothered doing that now, b ut yeah, your “2 week warning” was actually half a year, half a year in which you could have quite easily gotten Tribal if you wanted it, instead you decided not to bother, and now you’re here complaining about it.

zombyturtle.5980:

I had no idea the skins would disappear and felt no pressure to get them immediatly. As far as im aware there was no warning. The only info anet provided us was that pvp and pve skins would be merged.

If there was a post stating specifically pvp exclusive skins would be disappearing, please link it and ill reconsider my argument about bringing them back, but until then I see no reason they shouldnt return.

as i told the other guy, last time someone claimed there was no warning i spent about an hour digging through the past few years of news posts, the earliest you will find being late november (5 months before the patch), which warned that all pvp materials and rank chests would be removed from the game

so…
1. we have a set only obtainable via pvp rank chests and pvp crafting materials,
2. all pvp crafting materials and pvp rank chests are getting removed.

they made no mention of the skins being added to pve, they said that your characters appearance would carry over to whatever mode you were playing, but they never once said that the pvp/pve exclusives would be available to acquire.

Allowing people to have skins from years ago takes nothing away from anyone else. What has been taken away from players is that previously in PvP different rewards were available according to what rank you were. When anet decided to remove this they also deleted any unspent currency Pvp players had. This is historically not uncommon for them to do. They also reset everyone fractals so they could introduce a leaderboard that never eventuated. So the big question is, if you bring back old PvP rewards will veteran players also get back their deleted PvP currencies? If fractal rewards are being reworked, will veteran fractal runners be retrospectively rewarded for having their level reset and there only being a reward now, after hundreds of rings etc have had to be deleted?

Point is, it never a good idea to go back in time. I have unspent black lions tickets. I like some of the skins that I missed out on that I could’ve got for one ticket, but now they’re either not available or worth more tickets than I have. Should we go back because i earned the reward, didn’t spend it and now that reward line was has been changed?No we shouldn’t..but making the skin available other methods harms nobody. It just means I now have to achieve it via a different means.

They gave people like two weeks notice to spend all of their glory… They also warned that fractals would be reset.

How are these things the same as bringing back various weapon and armor skins that were unintentionally taken out of the game.

Because these things weren’t “Unintentionally” taken out. Like you just stated, a clear window was given where these items, and the means to earn them where stated when they’d be gone. To revert back to old systems to allow players to achieve these via those means from months or years ago makes no sense. Just makes the skins available via other means. It hurts no one to do. Allowing a player to achieve an old school takes nothing away from anyone else. (However on fractal point they did take everything away. The reset was meant to introduce new rewards and a leaderboard, both of which never eventuated..so the reset was pointless.)

What “PvP rewards”?

Other than a few armor sets, a few finishers you now earn for free when earning ranks, and a few alternate weapon skins, there was nothing unique to PVP.

And those skins MUST return. Because there’s people who actually earned then but do not have them anymore for whatever reasons.

The complete guild armors must be added to the guild armorers. You can only buy the chest pieces currently from them.

The other unobtainable sets are 2 light, 3 medium, and 1 heavy. So 1 light and 2 heavy should be added to have 3 of each, then added to karma vendors, WvW skin vendors, personal story character rewards that only offer loot bags now, and/or PvP tracks.

So what’s left?
