Guild Wars 2

Im not local. In fact, im the furthest thing from local… on the east coast. Getting out there wouldnt be difficult for me(although expensive, I would be able to scrounge together the money), getting in would be.

I have been a gamer my entire life, yet have never been to a gaming convention. I just want to meet up with other gamers and make some new friends. I want to meet the devs and personally thank them for the time and energy they put in to making the games we enjoy. I want to show the devs how awesome they are and how awesome the community is that they have created after not just 3 years it has been around since launch, but even the 5 years prior to that when the game was first announced.

I will be playing GW2 in the years to come and want the devs and fans to be there the entire way.

OP, you forget that they also do not have a monthly sub for playing this game. the very least you can do is spend an extra $10 to buy a character slot(because they arent asking for a required $180 every year). seriously, you are asking for way too much for a game with no monthly fee.

$75 is for those who want the extra char slot and dont mind paying the $15 extra for the bonuses that would normally cost something like $20.

after finding out the expansion is $50, Im considering just getting the expansion from Best Buy. GCU membership would drop it down to $40, which isnt bad savings.

For those who do not know: Best Buy offers a service called Gamers Club Unlucked(GCU) which discounts any new games by 20% when purchased from their site or store.

ANet should be offering physical copies of HoT before it releases, and I plan on picking it up at a discounted price. if not, best buy does also offer digital keys as well.

nerfed? yes. worthless? nope. still outdamages anything else out there. the gap is just smaller now.

the reward tracks are strictly for spvp. they are incentive for people to engage in the spvp. since the removal of any/all pvp armor/weapon skins, the tracks reward those who engage and allow them to earn rewards that are useable in both pvp and pve.

what I mean is, weapons arent customizable(in terms of colors, just skins). You cant color your weapons the same you can with armors.

I agree with Thaddeus. Legendary Armors probably won’t exist because of the look thing. ANet made this game centered around how your character looks and their individuality in terms of colors, and armor pieces. Legendary Armors would more than likely take that away. IF they can implement Legendary Armors which allow you to change your look without the use of charge stones, then that might get people to go after it(think about it, change looks and stats without cost). Otherwise, I cant see the same route for Legendary Armors as they do for Legendary Weapons.

This game isnt balanced for dueling, and soon as devs add dueling… there will be thread/s stating how X class/es is/are OP and they need to be nerfed. This is true regardless of which game that has dueling. People crying about 1v1 balance(and the devs stating the game isnt balanced around 1v1) but people will still fight to get balance. This is a can o’ worms the devs just arent ready to fight.

I had a couple ideas for Arena Net to help with pre-cursors. First idea was making them purchasable using Laurels for like 150-200(200 is max I would ever pay) Laurels. I mean, you already spend roughly 3 months gathering, crafting, and fighting various creatures(and people). Why not just have people spend that effort on a tangible goal. Being able to purchase a pre-cursor from the Laurel Vendor for like 150 or 175 Laurels. Isnt the Legendary suppose to be proof of Mastery over every aspect of the game?

Other idea(and less thought out) would be a pre-cursor for the price of 1k dungeon tokens from every dungeon. So roughly 8k dungeon tokens. This method would at least get some other less popular dungeons more populated again.

other options are to craft it or buy it. not a very long list of options available for exotic gear. for buying, you have karma, and TP.

some town clothes do not “fit” the style of classes. Plus there are some who play large norn and enjoy the cooking outfit and would lose out on it because the town clothes became light armors.

Vexander.9850:

I’d love to see restrictions on armor removed for the sake of transmutation. So I could be an Elementalist looking like I’m in Heavy Armor, even if the Stats are still Light Armor. Or I could be a Guardian in Light Armor even though I’m wearing Heavy Armor.

yeah, dont ever see that happening. ANet believes in being able to identify a class just based on their general “look”. If what you wanted happened, then no one would be able to tell the different classes apart in pvp/wvw.

anyway. my guess is on Removing Soulbound Restrictions. make sense, right? right? Im thinking on a way to unbind an item(expensive exotic anyone?) to resell. Like upgrading armor/weapons from exotic to ascended and being able to resell your old armor on the TP.
