Guild Wars 2

Still getting Network error 1083:5:7:1595:101 here. Tried several characters on different maps.

The choices in Adept really are worthless now, apart from Cantrip Mastery if you use more than one cantrip.

I wish they’d of left Cleansing Wave or Aquamancer’s Alacrity in there. Really screwed up my support build.

Refunding really is going to be a messy business. It’d be better to leave the current skin as is, along side the new skin. And if the current flamekiss owners want the new skin they can pay for it like everyone else.

Being offered refunds is the least they can do though. I’m sure they will credit in trans stones and a splitter or something if needed. ANet isn’t usually afraid to refund or fix a wrong when it comes to real money.

Sure but what about people that bought gems with RWM specifically for the set the way it looked? Bob sees set and likes it, pays cash to get his 800 gems only for it, buys set, then the set changes. Now Bob doesn’t like it and gets a gem refund but has 800 gems for his real world money and has nothing to buy unless and if something comes along later he wants. He spent $10.00 to get some gems in the end and not the skin he wanted.

Say I was looking for a new coat and I find one on some online store that offers all sorts of clothing. I buy the coat but then they tell me they no longer carry it and they are giving me store credit to make up for it. I gave them my money for the coat and now all I have is the option to use the money I spent on something else from their store I may not want or need. I wanted a coat not 30 pairs of socks.

I’d say it’s more like you ordered a coat and they sent you a completely different coat. To apologize they give you store credit. But now you’re stuck with a coat you don’t like and you can’t get back the old coat you gave up. So now you’ll have to go buy another one.

How is ‘being allowed to keep it or have a refund if you’re not happy’ not fair compensation?

Because he wants to keep the armor as is. I do to. A totally fair and correct result would have been to remove it from the gem store, redesigning it but let those who have bought it keep the existing skin.

No. This whole uproar about the skins is exactly because people were allowed to buy a reskin of a T3 cultural armor on the Gem Store. If those people could keep it simply because they bought it before ANet admitted the mistake and decided to fix, the problem would persist, since people would still have the amor that shouldnt have been sold on the first place.

So why punish the purchasers, who purchased in good faith. When it was not a problem they created?

And how exactly are you being punished? Youre getting your money back.

Because they’ll have to cover the cost of replacing their skins if they don’t like the new one. Unless Anet offers a skin rollback which seems unlikely

Im assuming they are going to provide a rollback for the previous armor pieces and even refund players real money (for those who spent real money on it), which would be the right thing to do. Maybe you could provide me a link that states otherwise.

Admittedly it’s speculation but I don’t imagine Anet stores data on what items have been previously part of a transmuted item. The only scenario I see rollbacks happening is if you can provide proof, like a screenshot, that you previously had those skins.

Can we please get an explanation of how the refund will work? Looking at posts there are people that have put it over existing T3 armors and other expensive items. Are you going to make us delete these? Are we going to have to BUY transmutation splitters so we can split them and get a refund. Just judging by the other 2 flame armors my hopes are not high as to what we will get as a replacement and it is not fair for us to lose the items that we put the skin on.

Most people who would’ve previously had t3 skins will of had transmuted them to an exotic so you won’t get your t3 skins back even if you use a splitter.

What happens if you don’t like the new skin? Will there be a rollback to your previous skins, before applying the flamekiss?

The 6th bonus on Superior Runes of Lyssa (“When you use an elite skill lose all conditions and gain all boons for 5 seconds.”) doesn’t work on Transform skills.

Tried with Elementalist Tornado Elite and nothing happened.
Also tried the Guardian Tomes to no avail.

Edit: So it does work on at least one transform skill,
the Necromancer’s Plague Elite. But it didn’t with Lich Form.

Edit 2: The bonus gets applied on exiting early from a transformation (excluding Plague)

Just had this happen to me. Most annoying since it means it’s unfinishable.
