Guild Wars 2

This has been pointed out ages ago but still appears to be an issue, the Ash Legion shield available to players is a generic wooden one. I thought this might have been intended but there is an actual Ash Legion shield in the game that looks the same as the player shields from other legions. It looks like it’s an issue of the default placeholder texture still being used by mistake.

Transmutation stones are just a way for people to pay for character visuals, to be honest I don’t see how it’s that big a deal. If anything I’d say go the other way and just have the basic stones capable of transmuting up to level 80 and remove the fine ones entirely.

And while we’re at it, the stones should also be able to merge visuals from different types of armour. If the stats remain the same, why can’t I be an elementalist running around in plate, or a guardian in robes? Surely that would increase the range of styles available and make more people buy the stones, it’s not like you can tell some classes apart by armour anyway.

So I had a few crashes lately when creating characters, and only just found out the cause. Here are the steps you need to take to cause this. I did this with a charr male.

1. Create a Guardian character up to step 5.
2. In step 5, choose the helm option.
3. Move back to step 3. Your character will be shown with the example armour.
4. Move forward to step 4 and go to the colours menu. The helm is still being worn by the character but the shoulders option is available instead.
5. Select the shoulder option and try to change the colour. The game will crash to the desktop.

I’ve been able to reproduce this every time I’ve tried. My uneducated guess is that it’s crashing because it’s trying to assign a colour to an object that isn’t there. Easily avoidable but if you’re like me and like to go back and forth to see what your toon will look like with better armour it’s best to be aware of this.

Same here, assuming there is a server problem.
