Guild Wars 2

that’s an option as well. :P

I’ve been reading the forums after coming here to look for the answer as to why the “Found Heirloom” vendor was gone, and I wasn’t the only one that seemed to miss the forum only warning. But I’ve thought of some possible ways that might be acceptable solutions. (take it or leave it these are just ideas tossed out there into the cosmos)

1. Create a “Black Market” vendor that has to be unlocked via a quest or can be found at the end of a jumping puzzle, or that even appears randomly in towns, that will accept the “Found Heirlooms” and other event items in trade for either the original offered Halo and Horn’s potions or rare crafting items.

2. Make an “Official Lion’s Guard Lost and Found” In LA where the Heirlooms could be turned in to the “proper authorities” so they can be given back to the families that lost them.

3. Do both and make the vendors trade completely different items from each other!

Well these are just some solutions off the top of my head that would fit into the “story line” so to speak. Again take it or leave it. I just thought it was a fun idea, and more productive then “crying over spilt milk” (so to speak) about something we as players can’t change.

And just remember we don’t know if the heirlooms will be tradeable via another means (i.e. the trader lady mentioned in the update notes) so everyone just calm down and give it a few days and lets see where the dev’s lead us.

Drat! I didn’t know they were taking the Heirloom Merchants out with this patch. I had hoped I would have another day or two to turn them in. I haven’t had a lot of time to play lately and only just got the 250 needed yesterday before the patch. I literally just logged in an hour ago and found this out.

I’m sorry but just making a forum post about it and that’s it is lazy, when they could have easily sent out an e-mail or in game mail to players. Heck they could have put the time limit notice in the original patch notes so people would know from the start how much time they have.

I don’t know about you but I don’t tend to frequent the forums of games I like to play, if I can help it, simply because they are usually full of hostile and immature people (i.e. forum trolls)

It also seems like something that should have been posted on the “News” page of the actual website.

Oh well, the only thing we can hope for is that the “Trading” lady mentioned in the current release notes might have the potions for trade for blade shards, or that it will be come available another way in the future.

Thank you! I guess its hard to notice.

“Map completion remains possible, including waypoints, points of interest, vistas, jumping puzzles, and diving goggles. Just watch out for Scarlet’s troops!”

What about Vista #8 – Eastern Ward East which required an “experimental gun” from an NPC to “shoot” you over to the outcropping rocks for the vista point. I am unable to locate a different way to reach that vista point.

Is there a new trick or is this unreachable as of now.

same in the Wayfarer foothills.

These are fantastic names, I wish I had found this tread before character creation to get an idea.

My female Norn warrior is named Kalidasa Silverclaw. I thought the name was one I made up until I just now did a Google search and found this Wikipedia entry.

[K?lid?sa (“servant of Kali” Sanskrit: ???????) was a Classical Sanskrit writer, widely regarded as the greatest poet and dramatist in the Sanskrit language. His floruit cannot be dated with precision, but most likely falls within the 5th century AD.¹

His plays and poetry are primarily based on the Hindu Puranas and Hindu philosophy.]
