Guild Wars 2

So with PvE/PvP merge we no longer have pvp locker. This is both good and bad. I won’t explain good sides since they’re quite obvious, but instead focus on bad things (<evil whining>).

Changing your look in PvP will now require Gemstore – Transmutation charges. I think we finally came to the point of PvP monetization. We’re not switching looks at any time with freedom anh more. Now every change costs gems/gold.

I’m quite sad about this change for one reason – When the Wardrobe preview allows us to take a look at many things, it doesn’t show how the armor/dye works in different lights and shadows. I used to test it in the Mists to make sure armor I want will look good on my character. It’s very important when you’re mixing sets.

Sad truth, guys. We will now pay for everything and PvE farmers will have the advantage everywhere ;/

This was a big concern for me as well but I guess we will have to see with the new reward system how often we can get a transmutation charge.

Actually in the blog they stated that the preview has been upgraded significantly and even had more support for dyes as well.

Also PvP reward tracks grant transmutation charges too

My only beef is that they seem to have forgotten that people can have more than one character. It doesn’t matter if you have one character in starter gear or 5 characters decked out in full sets. If you are the same rank, you get the exact same number of transmutation charges for the transition. One guy loses nothing and gets charges. The other guy gets 5 sets deleted for the same charges. This game seems to hate alts.
