Guild Wars 2

Sounds like good news to me!

“We do have some more back items this update. You will be able to find a quiver, we know we only shipped with a few back items and we do plan to add more.”

:’D

What does this mean???

It means that not only will your arrows get obstructed but you will run out of them!

Also there will be a added delay with taking an arrow out of the quiver that adds longbow and shortbow casting time by 40 ms per arrow.

The Quiver will be purely visual/aesthetic

Hey now, that extra 40ms on the autoattacks is not a nerf. Anet said so themselves.

/sarcasm

i wonder if they will only let warriors, thiefs, and ranger equip the quiver, as it doesnt make sense for most of the other classes.

also would have preferred that they made the quiver an offhand weapon for the bow just for thematic reasons, but that could just be me.

Finally quivers, wont matter tho If i quit my ranger for a rifle warrior.

If this is for PvP….
Yay now we have more gear no one cares about because of terrible auto-dyeing…

Glad they are having fun being symbolic
(useless stuff for a class that is, well, you get the picture…)

Its most likely for both.

FINALLY. Ye well i hoped something more from this update but i’m happy nonetheless.

It doesn’t seem so tbh. Lots of players (including me) were waiting for quivers to be added into the game. That said ofc a pet fix (for ex) would have been a more important thing to work on…

+1 this made me laugh so hard my wife asked me wtf was I reading

Will we also get ‘Guild Quivers’?

How can you be worried about a quiver when this Profession hasn’t been made any better?

So is this something “planned for the future”? or something thats available in game atm?

In before it is found to have such a hilariously low drop/generation rate that it might as well not exist.

inb4 ranger’s becoming a decorative rather than a playable profession due to its buggy mechanics/skill issues/pet functionality etc etc etc etc etc.

Oh yea.
