Guild Wars 2

Hey there. Love the update. TDM in my Custom Arena is legit. My guild does guild only PvP on Wednesdays and we had a great time sans the fact that my Password wasn’t locking people out or halting progression, but that is a thread for a different time.

There are NPCs and services that The Mists needs. We need the Forge back. We need a Miyani. Now that we are getting PvE drops it makes more sense than ever to have kept the Forge in The Mists. We need a bank. The merchant was a great addition. Love it. We need a Black Lion Trading Post.

I am really left scratching my head as to why these things were not included. Because the map is not connected to the world we either have to have joined a match from somewhere that had all these features like a town etc. and if we didn’t we have to go through two loading screens. It would be a great thing to add to The Mists. Thanks again for such an awesome update.

Agreed. Most important is adding a bank.

Especially a bank. Now that PvE and PvP gear are the same, it’d be nice to keep my PvP gear in the bank and just access it at the mists.

+1 for Bank vendor.
+1 for Black Lion Trader

FYI, no bank/BL is by design. Devs didn’t want the mists to become a free hub for bank/BL access in pve. I’m not sure I agree, but I see where they’re coming from.

Then they should charge a small waypoint fee to get into The Mists jsut like everywhere else to compensate for it. PvPers shouldn’t have to leave The Mists to take care of this stuff. If that can’t change then make it so we can select what Waypoint we want to go into in the PvE Map from the Mists instead of having to go directly to Gendarran or to our last location. Things have changed in game and the map should reflect that as well. The services should reflect the change though. They said they wanted PvP to “feel more connected” to the rest of the game, but the game from a services standpoint doesn’t reflect those words.

yeah, I can see that. Maybe they could put the bank at a new WP in the mists, and make that the only WP with a cost.

It was a bummer last night when I needed to get skill up tokens from the bank.

That is false. You can already do that simply by going to WvW from anywhere. Your home BL has crafting stations (which have your bank attached), BL trader, merchant, repair, etc. and you can get there from anywhere for free. So I highly doubt that was the reason. I think they just didn’t have enough time to add those in or, heaven forbid, want you to step out of HotM every once and awhile.

^ yeah, I know it doesn’t make sense, but that was the dev response when this was brought up months ago. Sorry I don’t have the link, it was awhile ago.

I think this is a similar reason to why they removed explicit bank access from wvw…despite the fact you can just go to the crafting stations.
